Because of the recent rocket launch, I was reminded of this painting I did a few years ago of the one and only Constellation Program launch. Although, rocket launches are not particularly unusual for those, who live near the Space Center, this was the only time that this particular rocket launched. I thought that it was a good idea to document it in my own way. I created this almost entirely with a palette knife and acrylic paints., I did resort to the use of a brush to get some of the finer details of the actual rocket and launch pad.
The Constellation Program was a human spaceflight program with NASA, the space agency of the United States. The goals of the program were to gain experience in operating away from Earth's environment, develop technologies needed for opening the space frontier, and conducting fundamental science.
Ares I was the crew launch vehicle that was being developed by NASA as part of the Constellation Program. The name “Ares” refers to the...
Although born in upstate New York, I grew up mostly in Nevada and California. The fabulous panoramic views of the far west inspired me to begin painting and photographing it’s beauty. I’ve lived in various areas in the states and in Europe but always had the desire to express through painting and photography. While living in the Mediterranean, I was especially influenced by the great Renaissance art and the chiaroscuro work of Caravaggio. I began with oils, worked with a wide variety of mediums but now mostly work in acrylic, oils, and photography. I studied mostly engineering in college but ended up with a degree in Technical Illustration, one in Psychology after several moves and colleges, one in Art Education. My experience as a...

Martin Davey
Super colours that convey the heat and power of the rocket launch, and the way the rocket 'slices' through the blue sky! L

Wonderful painted scene of rocket launch,AnnaJo!I envy you this view!I,every two months for a few days I can only watch the ISS.Also seen (once) the shuttle ,,Discovery,, beside the ISS and night dozens of mobile stars-satellite. f/v
AnnaJo Vahle replied:
I find it fascinating that you can see the ISS on the other side of this planet. It really puts things in perspective. I am fortunate to witness these launches on such a regular basis.
Ken Day
Awesome work of art AnnaJo. Sometimes the palette knife is jest the right tool for creating bold emotion such as the site of a rocket launched. We must be an artist over our own tools to be a master of our craft. Rockets captured my heart at a very young age. Thank you for sharing your artwork with us.
AnnaJo Vahle replied:
Thank you for your generous comments, Ken. I am pleased that you enjoy seeing the rockets. It was pretty nice to see the rocket and the shuttle in the same scene.

Stanley Morganstein
Thanks for your comments about my painting Stargate. I am fascinated by this painting Once, which dynamically depicts a rocket takeoff! In Orlando people would see the Space Shuttle taking off!
AnnaJo Vahle replied:
Thank you, Stanley. Yes, I understand about the launches. I just watched one from my backyard a couple hours ago. It was a Space X launch. Just heard on the news that there seems to be a problem with it.

Great rendition of the launch. Very interesting description.

Thank you, Jimmie.
Talya Johnson
A lovely tribute!
AnnaJo Vahle replied:
Thanks, Talya. I forgot to mention that I, also, depicted the Space shuttle ready to launch from the neighboring pad. You can see the orange tip of it's fuel tank. The fact that this was to be it's last launch added to the import of the event and scene.

Wonderful painting, AnnaJo. Like a lot the way you composed it. f,v
AnnaJo Vahle replied:
Thank you, Ana. I find painting rocket launches to be daunting as far as compositions go.
