298-Early-Earth-detail 298-early-earth-detail-dixon – volcanos and mists shroud the primitive earth, as its oceans are stirred by a much closer moon. This dramatic vertical illustration depicts a turbulent primitive seascape on the primordial Earth. Massive, choppy ocean waves churn aggressively in the foreground, breaking against dark, jagged rocks along a volcanic coastline. A dense, heavily textured atmosphere filled with swirling purple and white storm clouds frames a clear break in the weather, revealing a large crescent Moon hanging low in the sky, symbolizing the early Moon's proximity to Earth. Acrylic and gouache on illustration board, 1994. copyright 2013 Don Dixon/cosmographica.com — 298-early-earth-detail-dixon – volcanos and mists shroud the primitive earth, as its oceans are stirred by a much closer moon.
