You're looking for the perfect gift for the astronaut on your list who has everything. No?
Maybe it's the astrology buff who constantly speaks in a language you just don't understand.
Look no further.
This mixed media painting captures Mercury transiting the sun as seen by NASA's Hinode telescope.
In red and black it evokes the contrast between the immensity of the sun against the vastness of space and the odd balance that exists between the two.
Begun at the same time as its twin and finished as Mercury began its retrograde into Gemini in May of 2015, it was given the name Mercury Retrograde in Gemini.
Hand painted on 8” x 8” canvas board with Pebeo paints and resins, this painting is one of a series by the artist exploring this image of Mercury’s transit of the sun.
Signed front and back. Fully varnished and framed, ready to hang. See included frame in first listing image.

FAQs & Polices
Do you accept orders placed outside of the US?
I sure do! Though shipping usually takes a little longer. :)
International customers are responsible for all VAT and customs charges relating to their purchase. Please indicate any special international shipping or customs instructions at time of checkout.
How long will it take to receive my order?
Processing your order will take 1-2 weeks from the day you place it. Once shipped, most domestic orders take anywhere from 2 to 10 business days to arrive depending on the efficiency of your local postal service. International shipping delivery times may vary between 2 and 12 weeks.
Why does it take so long to get my art?
Depending on the complexity of the work you ordered, it can take considerable time to complete.
Custom commissions are begun after receipt of payment. Original artwork ships within a few days to a week of placing your order. Giclee prints must undergo a particular varnishing process which must be allowed to dry prior to shipping.
I may also be working on more than one commission at a time, and I prioritize these on a "first come, first served" basis.
Do you take commissions?
Absolutely! I love painting space and will happily take commissions for anything you might want.
I also draw and paint portraiture in pencils, charcoal, oils, and acrylics. If you'd like to commission a portrait of someone you love or even someone you admire, just let me know!
Can I see some of your other work?
A partial portfolio is available online at http://phaedrapaints.com/portfolio/. I add new art pretty regularly, so check back from time to time to see what's new.
