Nice painting!

I used to own it. Got it from Ken back in the 80s.

Thanks, Mitch. I've got three others yet to post that I think you are going to recognize as having once handled/owned.

Love the composition of this one.

Even more "on the half-shell" than that other venus, she is further protected from the peril by a canopy of purple clouds. So lovely, even planet-orbs draw near (can't say I blame them!)

Fun fact(?): I have the same title by Kevin Eugene Johnson (haven't uploaded the photo yet). He portrays the heroine riding a tri-headed sea dragon! I really should read these books to understand why the covers are so diverse!!

Funny. I have only read two of the books for which any of my paintings adorn the covers. I'll love the images and leave it to the artists and art directors to figure out the association with the stories. Smile.
