The Horsehead Nebula | Oil on Canvas, 18x24 in
 
Welcome to the horsehead nebula. Sitting 1375 light years from Earth in the constellation Orion, the horsehead nebula is one of the most recognized regions in space. Sitting alongside the flame nebula, the horsehead nebula has vibrant magenta and red gas and dust clouds that make up this beautiful sight, originating from ionized hydrogen gas that sits behind the nebula.
 
The formation was painted in oils using photographic inspiration from ESA/Hubble. Each star was meticulously placed in its location within these giant gas clouds.
