Description
The original idea was from Kim Poor...view his image at http://www.novaspace.com/SOLD_OUT/S_H.html. Kim and the artists at his site influenced me to try space art myself...a definate influence! Herschel was a British astronomer who discovered Uranus and several of its moons...he also discovered several of Saturns moons, one of which, Mimas has a large crater named after him. Kim Poor realized that a view from this crater might look like this....
My back bedroom/office is surrounded with limited edition spaceart prints of Kim Poor, Joe Tucciarone, and Michael Carroll and others....
I dedicate this to Kim Poor and his wonderful visions!
