Artwork Description

The Swan Nebula

0.0 x 0.0

The Swan Nebula is part of my "Nebulas" series. It is based on a NASA photo. This unimaginably huge part of the universe calls to my love of color and form; it allowed me the joy of the abstract gesture within a framework of realism. It invoked my love of space and free brush strokes. There is an ocean of glowing hydrogen gas and small amounts of other elements such as oxygen and sulfur within the Swan Nebula. The painting is acrylic, 16 inches high by 20 inches wide, acrylic on stretched canvas, on heavy duty stretchers, with painted sides, so a frame is not necessary.
