Fantastic original painting by NASA suit technician-turned-artist Ron Woods entitled "Left Behind," accomplished in oil on 24 x 18 gessoed board, depicting a ghostly pair of dust-covered boots left behind on the lunar surface during one of the Apollo missions. Lightly signed in the lower right corner, "Ron Woods." Framed to an overall size of 26.75 x 20.75. In fine condition.
During the Apollo program, Ron Woods worked for ILC as a suit technician performing suit maintenance, interface testing with the Command Module, Lunar Module, and Lunar Rover vehicles, and insertion of astronauts in Command and Lunar modules for training. He suited crew members for Apollo 8, 11, and 15, all Skylab missions, and Apollo-Soyuz. He also supported the first two Space Shuttle missions as a suit technician at KSC and three additional missions at primary and backup landing sites.
Woods notes that, historically, these boots could be "from either Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, or 16. The Apollo 17 were not on the return manifest but CDR decided to bring both pairs home."
