My latest piece of cover art is for Monica Tracey's "Left of the Moon" to be released this summer by Circaidy Gregory Press. http://www.circaidygregory.co.uk/Monica_Tracey.htm

Very nice. Very Van Gogh.
The heavy stokes are great. I bet it was a pleasure to paint it. How big is the original?

I really like it.

Thanks Suzanne! Yes, it was a joy to paint. I've done a 'Monet' before, but never a 'Van Gogh' style pic. Can't remember the exact size of the original (the publisher is holding onto the painting for the time being to use for promotions) but I think it was about A3.

while I don't like the brush work; I have never liked van gok work.
Even Signac, Venice, Santa Maria Della salute;

I shell give you a Robert Hughes perspective of your post –impressionism

One can look, and look, and look,
there is a force more comatose than mindful, you became trance like;
that deepened the look of unnatural form to give substance;


the unusual proportions of the body on the plane, broken by perspective gives it more mystery moon-head arms

the painting is very good

Thank you Gavin.

With cover art, one must do what the client requests, which in this case was this particular style.
