Found at SpaceWeather:

--- Space artist Merry Wooten anticipated the discovery two decades ago:



Wooten had a hunch that Saturn's powerful tides might cause geothermal activity on Enceladus. Her painting of the resulting ice-geysers first appeared in a planetarium show, "When Worlds Erupt," in 1986. ---

I want more. Where are other Enceladus artists?

This is space artist Joe Bergeron's interpretation of the Geysers of Enceladus:

--------------------
"After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance.
I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard,
and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does
not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is
indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have
no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft."

- Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853

The artistic license in these pictures consists of putting the plumes at much lower latitudes than they are actually found. At the south pole of Enceladus, Saturn should be right on the horizon -- half under, half over. And it would appear even larger than it appears in these pictures.
