After the fairly successful Horsehead Nebula I dived into a bit of planetary art this time the clouds of Jupiter were the subject. This took a fair bit of time this piece as the colours and patterns had to be shaped and merged and all of that good stuff. I’m quite pleased with this one though as I’ve learned from it – it doesn’t have to be exactly like the reference picture – I’m merely creating an intrerpretation.
Let me know what you think, thumbs up or down
There’s only one with this piece… don’t think I’ve short changed you here!
I’m sorry, it’s me – I can’t help it. I’ve tried to keep the insanity from the door of this corner of the web but I can’t do it any longer. The world in which we live is wonderful, beautiful and terrible thing and yet there’s few – well quite a lot of people actuallyโฆ
In this series of posts I’m going to look at the human perspective and ask questions like ‘What does it mean to be human?’ or ‘How can I be a better Human?’ with a little sprinkling of ‘How can I be more comfortable as a human?’In this mad world we’ve been enduring especially over theโฆ

Will that’s the thing, but I often see art as copying something whereas it can be creating an interpretation.. hence so much variation in people which is cool
Into the lockdown, out of the lockdown. I lost the overview on all the lockdowns and reliefs of the countries around us… lol! However, I am glad you can focus on a wider horizon now. Simon.
Great artwork! I don’t think NASA gets much better views? Well…maybe a little. Did you use a photo as a reference? This planet’s clouds and rings are fascinating in that they don’t all fly in the same direction and some seem to just spin in place like a perpetual tornado. Whatever or whoever created this monster had a weird sense of style, art or was just plain snockered when it happened.

I love it! Close-up images of Jupiter always remind me of milk and coffee swirling together, and I think you’ve captured that perfectly!

I love it! Is it digital or pastel–I wasn’t sure of the medium you’re using.

It’s digital, the colour mixing gives it the pastel effect.

love it and like the idea that it is “creating an interpretation” … after all space = scifi to me ๐
