When I started painting with oils in the summer of 2016 after bingeing Bob Ross all Winter and Spring I discovered a side of my nature I wasn't aware lurked there... or maybe I had merely forgotten it.

However it was, I dove in and haven't come back up for air and have no plans to. I enjoy painting as much as writing stories and poems and hope to be able to dove-tail these passions.

Regarding that desire, The Hunter and the Sorcerer will be the first time I've used one of my oil paintings for the cover art of one of my stories.

Having started painting The Lair in Aug of 2019 and set it aside to work on other projects many times, it was a thrill to finally complete it, photograph it, and then create the cover art for this bizarre, Pleistocene themed yarn.

I've added the cover art to my Coming Next page, so please check it out. I hope to get the story published by the end of March!
