Description: As an artist, one is constantly looking for inspiration; And inspiration came to me from millions of miles away ... Mars, to be exact.

I've always loved astronomy and science fiction. "Hermus Vallis" is the scientific name given to a geologic area in Mars in the Cerebrus hemisphere. The name originally came from the classical name for a river in ancient Lydia (modern Turkey).

Of course, I took plenty of artistiic liberty with this piece and imagined a giant, lava-like, deep red hued river cutting its way through the rough terrain of Mars. The artwork is very abstract and can of course be whatever you imagine. Whether you love the variation of deep red tones or the heavy textural elements, this artwork has plenty of visual appeal and will offer an endless array of opportunities to contemplate its affect on the viewer.

Elements Used: Acrylic paints and a thick archival gloss varnish on a stretched canvas gallery wrap frame. The 1.5" deep sides are painted in black for that finished framed look. Unless you desire one, there is no need for a frame. The painting is ready to hang and display with pride.
