Acrylics, ink, gold gouache on board, 12/88, 26 x 18 inches, signed lower left. On the cover of this anthology is a well-known character in modern fantasy. Lythande must keep her sex a secret from all or bear the loss of her sorcerous powers, so her face is lonely, beautiful, androgynous. Her bracelet and brooch are jewelry I actually possess, while the runes on the sleeves of her robe say "Lythande, Adept of the Blue Star." One of the hanging shop signs advertises the publisher, DAW Books. The design has Celtic and Anglo-Saxon influences.
