Pastoral with Falling Starlinks

16″ x 20″ x 2″ oil on cradled hardboard

Riffing on 18th century pastoral paintings depicting bucolic rural landscapes with farm animals, this painting shows a modern country landscape with Starlink debris falling from the sky. The animals, highlighted in a sort of “magnifying glass” effect (common on maps with areas of special interest) mostly ignore the strange lights and colors.

The falling starlinks are painted with fluorescent colors that glow under UV.
