---------------------------------------------

This painting captures Mercury transiting the sun as seen by the Hinode telescope.

In red and black it evokes the contrast between the immensity of the sun against the vastness of space and the odd balance that exists between the two.

You're looking for the perfect gift for the astronaut on your list who has everything. No?

Maybe it's the astrology buff who constantly speaks in a language you just don't understand.

Look no further.

Begun at the same time as its twin and finished as Mercury began its retrograde into Gemini in May of 2015, it was given the name Mercury Retrograde in Gemini.

Hand painted on 8” x 8” canvas board with Pebeo paints and resins, this painting is one of a series by the artist exploring this image of Mercury’s transit of the sun.

Signed front and back. Fully varnished and framed, ready to hang. See included frame in first listing image.
