Eagle Nebula (Hubble Series 5)

This is another fantastic image from the Hubble Space telescope which I developed into a spacecape painting.  What thrills me about it is its dimensionality.  One almost has a sense of an eye looking beyond itself and into deep space.  But while deep space itself is black, here deep space is a pure azure region, "L'AZUR, L'AZUR, L'AZUR," Mallarme would have said.
