Beyond Magritte's Door
I based this painting closely on La Réponse Imprevue ('The Unexpected Answer') by
the Belgian surrealist – a title that means, as far as I can tell, and as with most
of Magritte's titles, absolutely nothing whatsoever. In his picture the hole in t...

Blue Ice
Triton, Neptune's largest satellite, orbits at such a distance that, from its
surface, Neptune appears roughly sixteen times the diameter of our Moon as seen from
the Earth. Out here, the Sun is 900 times fainter than we know it, but still brighter

Flight of the Eagle
This is my first go at soft pastels (not oil pastels) in about 18 years. The
background crater field is almost entirely black and white pastel on grey card, but I
added some highlights with a white coloured pencil. The ship, meanwhile, was painted

33, also known as. the Horsehead Nebula because, well, it looks like a horse's head.

Sojourner
This is my impression of the Mars Pathfinder rover, called Sojourner, which touched
down safely on the Red Planet on American Independence Day in 1997. The craft itself
actually landed in a lava flood plain – chosen because it was flat and easier t...

Tides of Fire
This picture shows Jupiter seen from the surface of its closest Galilean moon, Io.
Because Io is so close to Jupiter, it is constantly engaged in a tug-of-war with the
planet's considerable gravity. On Earth, the Moon's gravitational pull, and to a l...

Wish You Were Here
Well, seems like a nice place to go for a holiday if you ask me! The large rock is

picture just sprang from somewhere at the back of my mind....
