'Lunar base' by David Wrigley, Fleet u3a

'Lunar base' by David Wrigley, Fleet u3a

I have two inspirations for this picture. The first is the photo taken on the Apollo 8 mission in 1968, of the Earth rising above the lunar landscape. The second is rather closer to home, the geodesic Biome domes at the Eden Project in Cornwall. Together, they give my interpretation of a lunar base in the not-so-distant future.

Space is so important to us all, whatever we do in our lives. Painting allows you to be immersed in the subject and supports your creativity and observational skills. Dancing allows you to be expressive, interacting with space of the performing area.
