289-green-mars-revised-dixon 289-green-mars-revised-dixon – This panoramic science fiction illustration showcases a partially terraformed Mars, focusing on a deep canyon system filled with liquid water and burgeoning plant life. A massive natural mesa stands at the center of a wide river bend, its red rock face excavated into a glowing, multi-tiered habitat city. In the distance, a bright sun or meteor streaks across a hazy orange-and-blue atmospheric horizon, while the foreground reveals a misty, conifer-forested ridge under a deep blue sky. Cover art for Kim Stanley Robinson novel Green Mars about effort to terraform Mars. Acrylic and gouache, 1997.
