MYM (1986)
Oil on Panel - 32” x 20”

My fourth cover for Incarnations of Immortality by Piers Anthony. Following the formula of the other books, a mortal is called upon to serve as a supernatural force. 1/3

CHRONOS (1984)
Acrylic - 18" x 25"

Unlike most cover illustrations I've done, the artwork for the 'Incarnations of Immortality' series is set within a box without any type running over it. 1/4

ORB (1987)
Acrylic - 28" x 20"

As on my other Piers Anthony covers, the focus is the protagonist of the story. But this character appears only briefly in the story as a mother with green hair—usually she is described as an attractive young adult. 1/7

NIOBE (1985)
Oil on Panel - 29" x 19"

Since 1975, I have worked almost exclusively in acrylics, but I still love to paint in oils. Not long before doing this cover, I moved to a new studio that was larger and better organized than my old one. 1/4

THANATOS (1983)
Acrylic - 24" x 36"

Just before beginning this painting I broke my right hand—my painting hand!—and I found myself forced to function with my fingers, wrist, and arm immobilized in a cast. Determined not to let the injury stop me from painting, I employed several tricks to circumvent my temporary infirmity. 1/5

That is how I chose to depict her, though the former guise would probably have 'captured the title' better. 1/6
