30 years after the people of mars set forth to build the 25 square mile indoor forest comes alone a breef moment in time when other creatures other than man look out onto the lands of mars in wonderment.A small and insinificant moment to some but to a person conscious of this increadable moment it would be overwelming. there is a reason why we must colinize the stars other than just for ourselves. A time will come like for everyone when our mothers will pass on into the past,thuss so this is true for mother earth as well and beleve it or not -we are the only hope she has to carry on everything she ever was.All life as we know it down to the smallest virus to the largest whale is depending on man to find a way that they may survive after the mother earth passes away.They all know of us and know we are here with them even though we destroy there enviroments in a continous ambition that doesn't enclude them.The animal kingdom finds comfort in the knowing that we are here and have an intelegence that they can't understand,for a time will come where they will depend on us to carry them forth to a new world.Then so we will depend on them to remind us that we are not machines.That we are flesh and blood,that we are life. for if we ever lose them no matter how far we may travel we would lose our selves.we cease to be human.We will need them. this is a painting that has taken fifteen years for me to complete due to various reason I have never been able to get to work on it after it was destroyed by people who needed to use the painting that I started on a 12 foot by 8 foot canvas.we where in the great northern woods of the trinty alps just south of the oregon border when a blizzard hit us .we had went there to build a caben on a large track of land high in the mountains I did not know it at the time but, someone in the group had got the painting and used it in the wall of a large tent we had-thuss it was lost but it did help to keep the children from freezing to death.the snow did get to about 7 feet deep that night. so I have carried this idea along with the countless other I keep in my mind and now they are coming to light. I used the arcmaker thats in the software department at marketplace to make the arcs in the wall,very easy to use and works very well with bryce5.5 ,then I used pd pro by dan ritche to put everything together the back drop of the marsian landscape was made in bryce5.5 pd pro is by far the best art program I have ever worked with.it can take any image and do anything with it.
