SUNPROBE - preparing for launch

From the 1965 TV Series Thunderbirds

The Sunprobe rocket featured in one of the most memorable espiodes of the classic TV show. This painting imagines a scene prior to the launch of the giant rocket.

I wanted to give the same feeling of some of the Apollo photographs of the Saturn V rocket, and its launch tower in the early morning. Top of the line technology juxtaposed with the simple beauty of nature.

Maybe a bit of a cliche, but just because it is a cliche does not mean it can’t still be awesome.
