Water World
The search for water and, with it, the search for life is one of the driving forces of planetary exploration. This painting exemplifies our hopes of finding water worlds like our own orbiting other stars. The artist describes it this way: One of my earlier works - but one that I just had to paint. It is a dreamy fantasy piece that inspires feelings of tranquility in the viewer; but as an astronomical art, it falls a bit short of being scientifically correct! The foreground sea should have much higher and rougher waves due to the tidal effects of this sister world's close orbit
