Alma Thomas — Snoopy Sees Sunrise on Earth
Alma Thomas

Snoopy Sees Sunrise on Earth

A vibrant example of Alma Thomas's signature mosaic-like brushwork, this painting features a large circular form set against a mint-green ground, filled with tessellated dabs of blue, orange, yellow, red, and purple that evoke an aerial or cosmic view of Earth at dawn. Thomas's distinctive staccato strokes create a shimmering, jewel-toned surface that bridges Color Field painting and pointillism. The work exemplifies her late-career space-inspired series, reflecting her fascination with NASA's Apollo missions and the beauty of the cosmos as seen from above.
