This erupting prominence sequence reminded me of a rock plopping in the water. It
was brilliant to watch. This observing session nearly made me late for my brother’s
wedding, but I just couldn’t tear my eyes away from the view to to give myself ample
time to look presentable for the special occasion. As a last minute idea to add to
their wedding present, I framed the first sketch of this sequence with the date for
them….starting their new lives together with a bang, so to speak. Number 963 for
the sun, day one for my brother and his new wife. Sketches done with black
Strathmore paper and white Conte’ crayon.

This is a link to an animated sequence of the same session that Erika produced herself!
Erika,
This is sketching at its best as good as it gets.

Outstanding work! A true inspirational visual treat.
Erix, I continue to stand in awe of your talent. That’s better than a movie, especially knowing that your hand drew each individual frame. I was waiting to see this sequence since hearing about it on Spaceweather.com.
Kudos for a superb sketch sequence!

Erika,
This sequence of sketches is outstanding, and when they are put into motion they really come to life! Beautifully done!!!
