The Eagle Has Landed (1970)

Unfortunately I was out of town when Neil Armstrong died on August 25, 2012 so I didn't get to post about it. His deeds and those of the Apollo 11 crew were a huge influence on my life and dreams.  So this posting is dedicated to Neil.  He would have liked this one, just the facts, no hype. The wonderful paintings are almost impressionistic in their simplicity.
