We Came in Peace for All Mankind(original painting size 34 x 26)
Dave Scott and Jim Irwin journeyed into space as test pilot astronauts and most of us returned the same way. But, Jim changed outwardly. As he explained, "I returned determined to share with others that profound experience with God on the Moon and lift man to his highest flight in life." - Alan Bean
Lunar Grand Prix
(original painting size 16 x 26)
John Young is putting the lunar rover through a full test. This was the second mission with the rover onboard and this Lunar Grand Prix would allow him to evaluate the performance of the rover in the light gravity on the dusty, cratered and rocky surface of the Moon. Charlie Duke is photographing him with the 16mm camera normally mounted on the rover, but hand-held temporarily to document the test. John said, "The tendency was to drive wide open or very close to that and take what you got." - Alan Bean
A Window on the End of an Era
(original painting size 35 1/8 x 23 3/8)
The Apollo 17 crew, Gene Cernan, Ron Evans and Jack Schmitt, are busy configuring their spacecraft for trans-earth injection - a burn that will rocket them out of lunar orbit and on a trajectory safely back to Planet Earth. If they had the time to look out the window, they might see what we see - the stark lifeless beauty of the Crater Leuschner, bathed in a beautiful blue tinted reflected earthlight, with the magnificent blue and with Earth appearing to slip behind the lunar horizon for the last time. But they don't. Their focus is inside. - Alan Bean
Jack Schmitt Skis the Sculptured Hills
(original painting size 50 x 35)
Is jack Schmitt really skiing on the Moon? We can see he is turning his upper body and knees and leaning as we do down on Earth. Let's listen to the downlink conversation back in December of 1972:
Jack at 167:07:20: "Too bad I don't have my skis."
Jack at 167:07:39: "Shhh... Shhh... Shh... Whoo!... Can't keep my edges... Shhh... Shhhoomp... Little hard to get a good hip rotation. - Alan Bean
