552-amalthea-retro-dixon - an oil on panel redo of a very early piece for a private commission. A close-up view from the rugged, rust-colored surface of the inner moon Amalthea looks out across the immense, banded expanse of Jupiter. The gas giant fills the background, displaying highly detailed ochre, cream, and reddish-brown cloud belts, chaotic eddies, and a massive Great Red Spot accompanied by an adjacent oval storm. Two stark, dark moon shadows are cast distinctly upon the lower turbulent cloud structures, positioned above a jagged rocky ridge that dominates the foreground. 2020
