Artist's Comments

Stellar Sanctuary" by Michael C. Turner
© 2008/2009 ~ Galactic Visions Space Art
Acrylic on stretched canvas using traditional bristle brush techniques 36" X 60"

(Please see poetry/verse picture [link] )

Ancient rock spires, created when solidified volcanic magma tubes were exposed from eons of weathering and erosion, seem to reach out in worship to a galactic pinwheel that dominates the sky. Ionized nebular gases glow as new stars are born in stellar wombs.

("Stellar Sanctuary" is #12 in my Christmas in the Stars limited edition card series. Each year I select one of my paintings to use on the cover of my "Christmas in the Stars" Christmas Card series which I began in 1991. Christmas 2009 will mark the 19th edition. I am currently working on this painting and will post it as soon as I have it completed. I realize that everyone may not appreciate space art in this context however, I trust you shall still enjoy the paintings for what they depict scientifically if not spiritually . . . )

May All Your Visions Be Galactic Visions ~ Michael C. Turner
