FOUR DAY PLANET
Cover illustration for H. Beam Piper
An old favorite for a book by H. Beam Piper of Fuzzy fame.
With science fiction covers, I’m more interested in having a painting be about the figures in the composition, so the technology almost always takes a back seat to whatever else is going on.
At the same time, the abstract aspects of this composition were the main things for me; the colors and angles of view.

That book is part of my personal Golden Age of SF. As usual, a Whelan cover captures a critical moment in the way most effective at capturing my attention!
The more I look at your paintings the more I see. Amazing.
