Grandma by chasestone

some day this view will be possible.

Touching. Instead of common astronaut, you show us grandma and a baby... This completely changes mood of this panting. There is some story behind it. It has to be, right? I can imagine endless stories, endless possibilities to explain this scene. This(and not only your painting skills) makes this piece wonderfull.

Nothing has to be said, just look.

Sad, but beautiful. 

Absolutely beautiful!

My husband loves this so much he wants a copy of it.

this is amazing.

Absolutely stunning image!!!  Congratulations!!!

Thought provoking  

Reminds me of the TV show "The 100". Maybe the Grandma is the last human born on Earth, living on the orbiting space station called The Ark since she and a group of humans left Earth many years ago.

Wow... Just saw it on Youtube when i was searching for Carl Sagans Pale Blue Dot. And now I hear it in the background while watching this picture. It brought tears to my eyes.

This is easily one of he most beautiful and moving pieces of art I have ever seen. I saw it on YouTube as a still for some "ambient space music" and had to seek you out. This piece should be hanging in a gallery if it's not already. I would also love to see this done with other ethnicities; it spoke to me as a farewell to Earth, a sadness, knowing that we will have to either leave our home or die there all together.. It's a beautifully sad image that could speak to all peoples, I think. You are immensely talented. 😍

This is so awesome!
Is there some way I can get this in poster form?
I would love to have it on my wall!

Omg O.O it's so sad… wow. Moving.

Epic.

YOU DID THIS??!! I was just browsing through MTG art and ran across this - originally I saw this a couple years ago on the Bad Astronomy site - I just love love love this picture - and I also love MTG and your art. Great job - so thought-provoking.

Are they leaving Earth or are they arriving to their new home?

I love the lighting in this one, super nice job!

Amazing! Still, imagine if that grandma was telling her grandson about how we ruined the erath...

Brilliant.One of the best digital paintings on DeviantArt,in my opinion.

Absolutely wonderful, I wish i was able to do something like this. Seeing this artwork, just fills me up with emotion. Truly an amazing work of art.

I'm really drawn to paintings of people living on ships. I love things that capture the spirit of the explorer: the excitement, melancholy, and tranquility of a lonely journey. This was captivating to me. I don't know that I can put it into words, but I feel mesmerized by this piece. Excellent work!

very impressive artwork mate,goodjob!!

Wow, I saw love

Great artwork ! Perfect lighting !

LOVE IT!

I wish this was real life!

It's quiet sunning scene.

I could imagine LOTS of stories with just this one illustration.

like...

If I look at it with hopeful thoughts,

they are now returning to earth and grandma is telling a story, which is related to life on earth, to a baby who is space-born.

But if I just flip a bit,

then I see them leaving the earth and she is in grief because she won't return ever again before she dies, but the baby has no idea and can't sympathizes with her.


Now I say this is what we call the REAL conceptual art.

beautiful story，comp and rending

Jeez, incredible! The lighting and texture on the skin is spot-on.

Oh, my gosh, I don't even have words to say how much I love this.

Wow, inspiring art. I admit that I usually don't like realistic work too much, but this one really stands out in point of story AND technique . Thanks for sharing!

THought provoking, reminds me of the art that used to be in OMNI magazines

I love how it evoke many feelings, like sorrow & sadness, but also happiness and somekind of longing. It's one of the best things I've seen in here for a long time.

Wow, this is a very captivating piece!

Awesome!!

awwwwww

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've seen. You're use of the medium is fantastic. I think of them looking back and seeing a crazy complicated, beautiful, home, full of strife and passion. Now they are on journey of starting new things. Starting new things, with each other, connected.

Great idea! This is so peaceful and simple, yet so meaningful at the same time.

Simple picture, but well done indeed. Some many possible senarios that could spring from this. Well done. 

excellent!!

I feel like that could be us in a couple of decades.

FANTASTIC!!! Are they living planet Earth or are they arriving?

This gave me a knot in my stomach. Despite of, or maybe because of, the sensation of dread and nostalgia your artwork arose, it's beautifully done. Im gonna go hug someone now.

Very well done.

Harika bir resim. Çok güzel.

This is so powerful
