ASTRAL MUSE (2016) by Michael Whelan, week 41 in his LEFTOVERS & PALETTE GREMLINS gallery project

This piece of mat board was used as a palette while working on the cover for Brandon Sanderson’s Words of Radiance. Half of the scrap was turquoise while the rest was reds and oranges. Random brushstrokes suggested the figure that I painted in.

I still had paints left over from the Sanderson cover session—everything except earth tones which had spoiled with mold—so I used the remaining pigments to render this little image.
