I was unfamiliar with Anne McCaffrey as an author until I saw the cover for Renegades of Pern. It captivated my imagination with its incredible rendering of an alien landscape in which humans were trodding. I went back and slowly got the entire series. One of many authors that but for a MW cover, I might never have discovered. I have a nice triptych of this particular piece consisting of an artist proof print, the grey and white Preliminary shown in the post, and a 14” x 19” pencil detail of the wagon area of the final painting. The pencil detail is very close to the tan and brown Preliminary shown in the post.
Love Anne McCaffery’ s work. The art work reminds me a lot of Hipgnosis album covers for Yes! Chicken or the egg?
