collectSPACE Artist adds touch of moon (tree) dust for Apollo 14 50th anniversaryA new tribute to the 50th anniversary of NASA's Apollo 14 lunar landing mission has grown out of a collaboration between two artists and a touch of moon dust, of sorts. "Touched by the Moon," a new oil painting by artist Chris Calle, captures the view that astronauts Alan Shepard, Ed Mitchell and Stu Roosa had from lunar orbit 50 years ago this week. More than what they saw, though, embedded in the painting are remnants of a once-living monument to the Apollo 14 lunar landing.  |

What a cool idea and concept, Chris, for a special Apollo 14 tribute painting with the inclusion of some "moon tree dust." Edgar Mitchell was at Kennedy Space Center during the first moon tree planting ceremony that I was able to attend in 1976.

Fantastic image but a question..."golf ball, dip it in paint and put a little impression, just a little dimple," ... "I know exactly where I will put it." So where DID you put it? | |
