Today’s #SpacetoberChallenge is #Future! DUST OF OSIRIS is a #watercolor of the opened #OSIRISREx sample return capsule, with the outer- and innermost sections stylized after ancient Egyptian motifs.

I chose this piece because I hope to see more sample return missions happen, and create more pieces like this in future!

DUST OF OSIRIS by Danielle Rose Baker. A painting of the top-down view of the opened sample return capsule from the OSIRIS-REx mission to asteroid Bennu. Circular sections and hexagonal bolts are seen among the rocky material in the middle ring, framed by lotus flower motifs and patterned circles with geometric ink designs drawn in an ancient Egyptian style with gold accents. A ring of painted turquoise, lapis and carnelian rectangles accented with gold surrounds the inkwork. Inspired by the decorative motifs of Tutankhamen’s treasures, and the Art Deco-tinged Egyptian Revival movement that arose from the discovery of said treasures.

ASTRAL JELLYFISH by Danielle Rose Baker. A pearlescent watercolor painting on black of the jellyfish galaxy JW39 as seen by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The galaxy core is seen in golds and whites, with fainter arms punctuated by clusters of blue and pink, aglow with forming stars. This galaxy lies over 900 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices and is part of a galaxy cluster. The intense gravitational pull of its larger neighboring galaxies distorts its shape, and as it drifts through the cluster, hot plasma between galaxies has stripped star-forming gases into long tendrils and ribbons, resembling jellyfish.

Today’s #SpacetoberChallenge is #Aeronautics! WICKED BLACKBIRD is an #illustration of the #SR71 Blackbird stealth plane. As a child, I heard sonic booms often, as SR-71s flew over my backyard north of Mt. Shasta, on a flight path out of Beale AFB. I finally saw one in person last December at Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum!

WICKED BLACKBIRD by Danielle Rose Baker. An illustration in colored fine-tip markers of the SR-71 Blackbird stealth jet in flight, with a multi-colored background abstractly representing mountains and valleys below. The scribbled style of the sketch reminded me of things you’d draw on your school binder in ballpoint pen, so I added the words “SR-71” with a cool S (80s kids will know) in a stylized font.

Today’s #SpacetoberChallenge is #Aurora! BOREAS DANCES ON TABLE ROCKS is an #watercolor of our special aurora show on May 10, captured with the Table Rocks in the Rogue Valley, Oregon.

#SpacetoberChallenge_04 #SpaceArt #SpaceArtist #SciArt #watercolorArt #art #painting #MastoArt #MastoArtists #FediArt #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt #ArtMatters #ArtistsOfMastodon

BOREAS DANCES ON TABLE ROCKS by Danielle Rose Baker. A painting on black paper with roughly finished edges of the aurora borealis as seen over Upper and Lower Table Rocks in southern Oregon near White City. The left side shows a dimly illuminated rock formation with steep sides and a very flat top, over which a crescent moon hangs low. On the right is a less defined rock formation with a more gradual profile on the sides and a broad top. The sky is painted in streamers of pinks and purples, with a green glow showing on the lower right side of the sky. Many shimmering paint colors are used to add to the effect.

Today’s #SpacetoberChallenge is #RoboticExplorer! HOLIDAY SNAPS is an #illustration of rover Curiosity against the peaks and slopes of #Mars. (I adore the rover selfies, I do.)

#SpacetoberChallenge_04 #SpaceArt #SpaceArtist #SciArt #art #MastoArt #MastoArtists #FediArt #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt #ArtMatters #ArtistsOfMastodon

HOLIDAY SNAPS by Danielle Rose Baker. A loosely sketched illustration of Mars rover Curiosity against a background of multi-colored hills and slopes, based on an actual selfie that actual Curiosity took on Mars. This is done in several colors of fine-point markers, combining brighter colors to get a more nuanced, subdued color palette. The title is from Monty Python, as the image reflects those overly stiff photos of oneself taken on holiday. Such snaps are then inflicted on your loved ones after family dinners, usually by the slide carousel-full.

FIRST FLIGHT by Danielle Rose Baker. A watercolor painting of the CFT-1 launch and inaugural test (should we call it only test? Too soon?) of the Boeing Starliner spacecraft, carrying two astronauts to the International Space Station on an Atlas rocket. The rocket rises past wispy clouds on the left side, with a view of the ISS in space in the top right corner. The blue sky fades to a mottled blue-purple color on the right, representing the depths of space.

For the #Spacetober prompt space station I made a tiny linocut print of the track of the ISS across the night sky.

#linocut #printmaking #miniprint #night #forest #spacetoberchallenge #MastoArt

As described this is a very small linocut print of the night sky in blue with carved stars, Milky Way and a line across the sky and a line of silhouettes of evergreen trees in black along the bottom.
