This is the first oil painting I’ve completed in eight years. 30×40, oil on paper on birch ply. I have to say, it is nice to hold an actual painting in my hands again.
I hope to have an excuse to do more.
I don’t have a proper title for this one yet; I’ve been lazy about titles in the past, but this one deserves a title suited to the image. Suggestions welcomed!
For the cover of the book by Joel Rosenberg. Weeeee!

This cover for "Midnight Tides," by Steven Erikson, was some of the biggest fun I had in 2006. The scene was moody and filled with portent.
