About this item
On February 14, 1990, the Voyager 1 probe, sent to explore the solar system,
took a historical picture of the Earth through the rings of Saturn at a distance of 5.9 billion
kilometers. The resulting image, according to the idea filed by Carl Sagan, was called
"Pale Blue Dot"
It was in honor of this event that the work "Little Blue Dot" was created, representing a view
from another star system to the same inhabited, native, but so distant planet.
In the frame, you can see both the brown dwarf and its satellites, as well as the blue dot
itself.
In the painting, 50 by 70 cm (19,7х27,6) in, a texture paste was used, acrylic was used as an underpainting
and an additional primer, the work itself was made with oil paints, covered with a reliable
acrylic-pistachio (styrene) varnish with a glossy surface for the final. A suspension made
of strong hunting line is already mounted in the subframe. The ends of the picture are
painted over to match the work, so if you wish, you can hang it without a frame.
