Robert -- Fine painting! Who's the artist?

Are you familiar with NovaSpace gallary? Kim Poor is the owner and the artist of many of the gallary's best works. My walls at home are graced by 7 prints from this gallary. It's the primier place for space art that is truly inspiration. The gallary also sells great screen savers with these prints. Check out the gallary!

Here's a link to one of my favorites (which is now sold out):

I am the artist. :-)

I should add one thing to note - this is derived from the theme/title - that is, from the abstract idea to the visual concrete...
...now, note that the figure is small in comparison to the vastness of the space scene - yet, at the same time, observe that the figure is in control of his course of action...  thus the figure's size is not to diminish the human's importance, but to conjoin it to the immensity of space...  this is further recognised thru the theme/title itself - a 'master' is one who is in control of things... note, too, that the scene is as if the viewer is also among the ring particles -  and is thus sharing, tho in a subordinate role, the adventure of being out there...

Would love to - but because other works are in my pc files and thus no url, not know how to have them posted here.

great design and great use of color.  Is this indicative of the type of subject matter you usually gravitate towards.

My subject matter bounces all over the place. Since I let the theme/titles be first, and the subconscious visualizing that abstraction, I never really know what the next project will be. However, as far as the 'picture windows' go, these wall murals, there has been a progression from an 'empty-but-for-one-tree' [Curse of Loneliness] to this space one, with the inevitable next being the yet to be done "Mastered View", which will be much like this one, but with habitats all among the ring rocks.  This is the only real space one, tho all are 'grand landscapes' in notion, and it is there I find it most interesting to be doing, after being done with the present renderings in pen/ink that I've been doing for past decade.  I do have one other space one - to be redone, since never finished - called "Vantage Point", which shows from within a habitat, between two branches of a bonsai in foreground, a view of woman sitting over pool edge, and the earth above.  But, as said, as far as the specific visual, it comes from within me, a consequence of  concretizing the abstract of the theme/title - and no telling just what follows from one to the other.

I should add that there are really only two kinds of views - to the future, or to the past. Since I despise nostalgia, mine are gravitated to the future.
