1375 Light Years of Past

Original mixed media painting finished with oil colours.

The painting is an abstract representational piece that represents the eternal nature of time and the interplay of light, age and distance. The horse head nebula depicted in the painting is what existed approximately 1375 light years ago it is what we see in the sky above, it is not however what would be left of this cosmic feature today. Most of the gases and other material may well have dispersed and not be visible at all. The oldest cave drawings in existence on earth are approximately 35,000 thousand years old. Other features of the painting are objects of today.
