Childhood Inspiration






A couple of pics from artist Chesley Bonestell (bonn-e-stell) that bring back such memories from my youth. I remember those Time-Life books, with their simple titles, especially The Universe and Space. Read them both, cover-to-cover, numerous times. Skimmed through them hundreds of times.

Anyway, working on the website put me in contact again with these paintings that captivated me thirty years ago, and notified me of the name of the artist. I could stare at these pictures, each one, for ten minutes without being aware of the time, and write a couple of paragraphs or a short story featuring each.

I even got goosebumps ...
