Portals: Majesty (2003)

Something about standing on the shore has always seemed otherworldly to me. Maybe it's the fact that the ocean is so alien and inhospitable. Maybe it's the fact that I am an Illinois farm boy and the sea always seemed exotic and unreachable to me.

Whatever the reason, celestial shorelines are a major theme in my work Giant planets wheeling over bodies of water are some of my favorite vistas.

I created this piece in 2003 using Lightwave 3D. Yes, the little guy on the rocks is the same fellow who operates the portals :-)
