Just so you guys don't think I am doing nothing...I painted this several weeks ago as a surprise for a good friend in Belgium and I delivered it yesterday, so I can finally show it.  |

Would look great next to a set of those 'First Footprint' personalized stamps Ed designed earlier as a tribute to Armstrong. |

Ed, I've been waiting for someone to paint a rendition of Charlie Duke saluting the flag on the lunar surface. Great photograph and I'm wondering if you ever thought of painting a rendition of this scene and what the cost would be to commission you do do it? Thanks. |

A beautiful painting, but by giving yourself artistic licence to paint a backdrop of stars in the lunar sky, are you not giving ammunition to the "Apollo hoax" nutcases? Will they not say: "Here is an acknowledged expert on Apollo, and he paints stars in the sky!" |

I don't have a problem with Ed taking artistic license and filling the backgrounds with what would otherwise be a large black area. Adds to the painting. Some pretty great space artists have done it including Robert T. McCall. I wonder if anyone ever saw his paintings and said "see stars, told you they never walked on the moon?"  |

Forget the stars I see clouds - therefore it must rain - which proves the existence of water on the moon - which means we have to go back there. I'm all for artistic license!! |

It was indeed my 'idol' Robert McCall who gave me the idea to paint stars to fill the otherwise black lunar sky. Makes a painting a bit more interesting, I think.And hoax believers will believe what they want with or without my paintings. I don't think that will make any difference... |

Could not agree more Ed. McCall was a genius at the cosmic background showing stars, nebula, dust clouds, etc., and was able to convey the universe in motion. I think you have done a masterful job with your work. I cannot fathom anyone being swayed one way or another from a cosmic background in a painting. |

A subtle background certainly looks great!I have seen Ed's work on the upcoming EH Space Art book, which will be more elaborate than the digital version... amazing stuff!!! |

Certainly liked Your X-15 pilots painting in the X-15 rocket plane topic... there'll be other unknown "treasures" in the upcoming EH book I suppose? |

Nice words, but they cannot match Gus Grissom's succinct old motto: Do Good Work. |

For those of you who haven't seen it yet: I have opened a special Facebook page as a showcase for my artwork. Search for 'Ed Hengeveld Space Art'.The plan is to post all my art there, also the older works. |
