Gaia - a painting about Earth the blue planet

This painting is about our tiny oasis of blue in the blackness of space.

This painting is NOT actually paintied in oils - instead I used acrylic paints.

In Greek mythology Gaia is the personification of life or Earth, and the ancestral mother of all life. More recently the term Gaia has come to mean James Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis which sees Earth and its life as a self-regulating system.
