I started this science fiction painting years ago when I was trying to figure out where I was going with my art.  Many of the paintings from that time period got painted over to live on as another piece but this one I held onto.  There was something about the composition I liked despite the brush work and I was encouraged by a friend to hold onto it.  Recently while cleaning up my studio I came across it again, after staring with it a bit I was struck with what to do with it.  I applied some of the skills I acquired in the past few years and transformed it into what you see now.

To me it looks like it would make a great science fiction book cover, just needs the accompanying story.  If there are any authors out there in need of a cover or inspiration for a story, this is for you.
