Description
"Orion Nebula M42" receives Best in Show at Spacefest VI 2012! A great honor!
This piece was inspired by one of the Hubble Space Telescope images. The Orion nebula, M42, is one of the most loved objects in the night sky for many star gazers. I worked with this piece for almost a year, which is an unusually long period of time for me. In hindsight I know I did not want the experience of spending quality time with one of my favorite nebulas to end, and so I kept it hanging around in my studio and worked on it whenever I felt the need to visit the cosmos.
