Alan Bean - Beyond A Young Boy´s Dream - Hand Signed - Limited Edition Canvas - - Image Size: 21"w X 14"h. Limited Edition Of: 125….“when I Was A Boy, I Dreamed Of Flying Airplanes And I Built Models From Balsa Wood,” Says Artist Alan Bean. “by The Time I Was In High School, Model Airplanes Of All Shapes And Sizes Were Hanging By Thin Wires From The Ceiling Of My Room. Airplanes Were The Last Things I Would See Before Falling Asleep At Night. I Dreamed Of Flying Higher Than The Highest Cloud And Faster Than The Fastest Wind. As I Grew Older, The Dream Grew Stronger. It Followed Me As I Completed Flight Training, Became A Jet Pilot Flying Off Aircraft Carriers And When, As A Test Pilot And Then As An Astronaut, I Trained To Rocket To The Moon. And In My Painting, As I Look Out Over The ‘magnificent Desolation’ Of The Lunar Surface, Youngsters On Earth Are Building Model Rockets, Dreaming Of Flying Higher Than The Moon And Faster Than A Shooting Star.”
