Original Creation

Europa

Sunnylady 03 May 2020

Europa is Jupiter moon. It supposedly have liquid water under thick icy crust of 10 -15 miles. Oceans if they are there are 60-150 km deep. Europa has volcanism. It might have potential for life there.

This is last Solar system painting. Idea of the series was to have view from the surface of space object.

It is made on A4 with watercolors and acrylic left from paint by numbers . This was more difficult to contain the paint flow how I wanted.

Please enjoy and let your imagination to take you away from Earth.

Happy painting my dear friends!

The thought behind it shows all of the diamant value of this painting! Never look at the strokes or lines on this but admire it as a whole, as a unity, an integer impression!
I knew you were going to paint this but never expected this indepth vision of Jupiter's moon.
That lantern fish …. what a treasure! The oxigen vulcano ( :) ), just one of the delicate Jewels in this painting!
I'm buying!!!! :) :) :)

Thank you Voy for your kind feedback.
This one is not technical at all, you are totally right. My husband and I, we were laughing at it. We were having very good time. Even after all that laugh I still think this is cute little painting. I call it childish from the point it is painted, but somehow I like there is feel of the underwater and even a bit of perspective. I had bigger idea, but I had to sacrifice few things as watercolor is unpredictable for a newbie.

At the end there is no need to travel to another planet, another fragile universe is just right here on Earth in the oceans and we need to protect it from ourselves.

You express very well that things are underwater.
Well done!

Beautiful and fascinating! So cool!

Jin, PaintRML thank you both!

Very fun and unusual painting! Will you be painting the other Galilean Satellites?
Nice work!

Dracula, thanks!
No I do not plan more of them at the moment.

Inspiring look under the ice of Europa.

Love the whole concept!! I studied planetary science as an undergrad and did spectroscopic studies of Europa’s surface. I give this many thumbs up!!!

@B_R_W: Oh wow! That sounds very interesting!
Thanks a lot for your cheers!
