Child of Venus

18”x28” (frame 27”x37”) Painted in 2000, I purchased her in 2021. First saw and loved the painting when JP posted available artwork on the original Illustration Exchange and finally reached out to him and committed to buying it many years later. Wrap around cover for the hard cover book by Pamela Sargent published by Eos Books in May 2001. JP told me that the painting was one of his favorites and he was going to keep it if he didn’t find it a good home. I also bought the preliminary drawing from JP.
