A total solar eclipse dominates the composition, with the moon's dark silhouette ringed by the sun's brilliant corona radiating outward in luminous rays of pale gold and white against deep forest green. The scientific precision of the astronomical observation meets romantic intensity in this hand-painted work, capturing both the celestial drama and ethereal beauty of totality. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
