Wearing a tan cloak with red trim, a woman with long brown hair stands next to a scaly green dragon. Perched on the rocky seashore, it curls its long slender tail and spreads its wings over her. A spiky conch-like shell hovers over her outstretched palm, casting a radial aura that illuminates them both. Reverently, her other hand is held to her chest as her eyes are cast up. Behind them, an outcrop of dark rock projects up on diagonals that mirror the shore they stand on. The backdrop mostly blocks out a night sky painted in a gradient of blue to purple. Two crescent moons spaced far apart are visible in the break between the rocks.
GIFT FROM THE SEA (2011)
Acrylic - 27” x 24 ½”
There are few subjects that captivate fantasy readers as much as a Whelan dragon. In total he painted 20 draconic covers, the bulk of those for Anne McCaffrey (9) and Melanie Rawn (7). 1/4
