Kids in Space!

Three kids, their faithful border collie and a green martian are exploring the moon in this one-of-a-kind 2.5x5 foot canvas; Adventures in Space. The oldest brother navigates the shuttle giving a big thumbs up. Basel the Space Dog looks after baby sister as she wanders off star-chasing. Ready to make history, a tall Astro Brother floats atop the Swiss cheese moon with his miniature Canadian flag. The green martian, puzzled at the arrival of his visitors, holds a directional sign leading the way; MOON. In the distance, the blue earth waits for them to return to their cozy beds from their adventures.
A brilliant blue backdrop blends in with the new base colour of the wall, giving the piece that mural-feel while producing a keepsake to pass along the years. Each sibling boasts their own emblem on their spacesuits; a green star, pink heart and yellow moon, with boots to match. Golden shooting stars burst out from swirls and a turquoise ring encircles a silly, polka-dotted Saturn.

Happy trails to the new owner of this adventure in Space!
May the force be with you!
