I had a commission to paint a small watercolor of someone’s new home. The painting is 4 inches x 4 inches and it was shipped maybe 20 miles away by USPS. I hate to complain but mailing that small package cost nearly $10, which is outrageous.
Everybody is taking advantage of everyone else and it’s breaking my heart. Not to mention my bank account.
To travel in space is, for the most part, boring. If the ship is operating properly, life consists of checklists and food. Similar to prison, the highlight of the day is mealtime. To make matters worse, space travel is time consuming – in more than one way. It is possible to take a six month journey and return home many years later. Who says time travel is not possible?
This acrylic painting asks the question: Do you even want to return home?
I painted this a few years ago. When SpaceX began building the Starship Protoype, the concept reminded me of this rendition of an undergound spaceport. Acrylic on Canvas.
