 Between two gigantic waterfalls, a lone structure pierces the sky. Bearing down upon the landscape the tower is almost overpowered, in spite of its enormity, by the sublime beauty of the landscape which supports it.

 An Earth-sized planet, its twin moons and a glimmering star drift through the gaseous clouds of a nebula. Although slightly surreal, I found it relaxing to paint, which was reason enough to complete it.

 Set just after dawn on a distant world. Sunlight shines and water cascades down to the foot of a sheltered gorge where simple plants are beginning to take hold along the water's edge. Difficult to see, but it's there - life has again begun in a corner of our universe.

| A little surreal in appearance, this image portrays two perspectives of the same system. The left hand side shows a view set back from a ringed planet; the right hand side is depicted from underneath the rings of the planet. Moons litter the image and dust clouds are added for good measure. This image wraps end to end. | |

 Depicted within a binary system, the larger of the suns steals matter from its dwarf sibling. Orbiting perilously close to the stars, a lone planet and its moon have their crusts continuously torn open by immense tidal gravity as they revolve about their unfriendly parents.

 After millions of years of congregation and compression a new sun bursts into life. Clouds and gases are sucked towards it as it devours vestiges of the nebula that gave birth to it. Surrounding the young star a disc of material is forming into new planets, the smaller of which could well end up as moons to their larger siblings.

 From a vantage point high above a city can be seen the sister moons and parent planet lit warmly by the twin suns. I have used familiar structural shapes to purvey how this vision may seem normal to the moon's indigenous races, yet how phenomenal this vista would appear to us.
