As I painted this particular watercolor, I thought of the Mars Rover program that was launched by NASA last week. I watched the craft leaving Earth, the blue planet; to travel to Mars, the red planet, and I envisioned the vast open space between them. When the painting was completed, it also put me in mind of the inside of something that was bubbling away and I thought of someone falling over the precipice into the center of it, hence the duplicity of titles. This watercolor was rendered on 9" X 12" Arches 140 lb. cold press paper.
