Feelin' Fine by astronaut artist Alan Bean

Feelin' Fine by Alan Bean.

 

“This relaxed, impressionist astronaut image is one of my favorites,” says Bean. “I felt just like this so many times on the moon—even though I didn’t have time to stop and ‘assume the position.’ I think it takes a certain attitude of cockiness to be an astronaut, and it’s hard to show those emotions when I am behind the gold visors.”
