Celebrate your love of space with this original miniature painting of Mercury transiting the sun as seen by Nasa's Hinode telescope.

Begun together with its three sister paintings as Mercury began its retrograde into sidereal Virgo in September of 2015, it was given the name Mercury Retrograde in Virgo #3.

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.

A close viewing experience will reveal the surface juxtaposition in this fully varnished painting. With the matte finish of Mercury silhouetted against the high gloss of the Sun, you will delight in attention to the little details in this gallery wrapped painting.

Hand painted in acrylic on 3” x 3” canvas, this mini pocket painting is one of a series by the artist exploring this image of Mercury’s transit of the sun.

Signed side and back and numbered by the artist.
