Gus 12" x 16" Colour Photographic Reproduction £18.95 The Original Piece Was Completed In 1994 12 x 16 Pencil & Watercolour on Paper Gus Grissom poses in front of his Mercury- Redstone at Cape Canaveral. The launcher is being fuelled for launch, which explains the venting. Grissom died in the Apollo-1 fire in 1967, but had he lived he had a good chance of becoming the first man on the moon. That is why I added the moon to this painting. Ed Hengeveld Click on the small image below to purchase a 10x15 Glossy Reproduction only £11.95 |

painting shows Pad Leader Guenter Wendt, holding a bolt from the hatch
of the Friendship 7 spacecraft behind him. Astronaut John Glenn was
about to be launched into earth orbit and technicians had trouble
closing the reluctant hatch. In the process a bolt broke and had to be
replaced. The painting was commissioned by the person who now owns that
bolt.

so this scene has special meaning to me.

Bruce McCandless flies away from the Space Shuttle Challenger in February of 1984 during the first-ever un-tethered EVA. He piloted his Manned Manoeuvring Unit about 100 meters away from the Challenger before returning. This has always been one of my favourite Shuttle flights and, although the photos that were taken are beautiful, I wanted to paint a scene that showed both McCandless and the Challenger in one view. |

In October 2005 former astronaut Story Musgrave was the keynote speaker at the Astro Assembly of the Skyscrapers, the Amateur Astronomical Society of Rhode Island. The society approached me to ask if I wanted to do a painting that they could present to Musgrave and "Hubble Story" is the result. Musgrave loves art and he appreciated the gift very much. He said he would certainly hang it on his wall. Ed Hengeveld |

orbit in 1973. With commander Pete Conrad at the controls of the Apollo,
Paul Weitz hangs from the open hatch (assisted by Joe Kerwin) to try to

power. This attempt was unsuccessful, but the astronauts later succeeded
in freeing the wing during a space walk.
