Egyptian Moon

LPOD-Feb12-11.jpg

painting by Mike Schultz, Thailand

After watching TV coverage of the jubilation stemming from the amazing non-violent revolution in Egypt I wanted to commemorate the wonderful feeling of euphoria coming from those brave people. A google search led to this remarkable artwork that happens to be called Egyptian Moon. I am not sure why the artist, Mike Schultz, gave it that name, but I can speculate that the colors and the mystery of the painting are reminiscent of the desert of Egypt, a land I visited 40 years ago. Mike's image harkens back to some of the earliest lunar drawings. The large crater in Mare Imbrium reminds of the unidentifiable large Chuck Wood

Technical Details
Mike wrote in an email: A few years ago, I became absolutely obsessed with the Moon. At this point, I have made 100's of drawings, prints, and paintings about it. It is such a strange and beautiful thing.
