THE ULTIMATE SANDBOX (1984)
Acrylic on Canvas - 15” x 24”

A whimsical portrait of my daughter Alexa that remains one of my all-time most popular images—and a personal favorite! 1/2

#sciencefiction

With plastic shovel in hand, a 4 year old girl in spacesuit packs a bucket with regolith as she builds sandcastles on the moon. The half-shadowed, cloud-covered orb of the Earth looms in the background starscape. The accents on her spacesuit are pink, and her pack sports a purple monogrammed letter A. Miss Piggy patches decorate her boot and shoulder.

@MichaelWhelan I remember well when I saw this great painting for the first time in some media because it shows my childhood's dream. When watching the 1969 moon landing live, my biggest wish was becoming an astronaut, of course. But everbody only told me that they would never accept girls.
Your painting came too late for my profession but I was so impressed and loved it.
