098-venusian-caldera-dixon – This high-angle geological painting depicts a massive volcanic caldera complex on the surface of Venus. Columns of pale, glowing gas or steam vent from dynamic fissures within the concentric, terraced crater rings, highlighting active tectonic processes. The rugged, basaltic mountain flanks drop away into deep shadow beneath an oppressive, intensely thick orange-red atmosphere that blankets the volatile planetary landscape.; vinyl on animation cel, 1978
