Earth by Erik Olson

I have always had a weakness for Original Artwork and Outer Space, and Erik Olson just brought those two things together in his masterpiece, "Earth."

Simple at a glance, but I think its his choices in brush strokes that did it for me on this one... the thicker paint coats he applied created a 3-D effect where the painting almost looks like its coming off the canvas.

Cool stuff, definitely something I'd love to hang in my home. Check out more of his work here:
