[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 255404, member: 12214"] 1-24-14: While going through some of my husband's art work with my brother in-law, I came across a project he never finished because that was when he was starting to get the head and neck pain and could not longer paint or crow for more than a few minutes. Gary loved to paint space and astronomical scenes. The final product was almost always oil on canvas, but I thought the process was always interesting. The three photos below show some of the steps he would go through to get that final painting. These are not the greatest photos, but it was late on Friday, I was trying to get a poster together that honored Gary's life and achievement, and I was running on autopilot. These were done in 1999 over a 6 - 8 month period. Concept: Below is a pencil sketch of a space station/hotel/night club. Gary called it "Deco One."

After drawing it out, Gary cut it out so he could use it as a template for the final painting. [B]Deco One Template[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]69411._xfImport[/ATTACH] The painting was never finished. The planet & moon in the background were taken from actual NASA photos. I cannot tell you what planetary bodies they are. [B]Oil on Canvas.[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]69412._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
