From our in the studio feature from last summer

BEOWULF’S CHILDREN (1995) by Michael Whelan, cover for the book by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, and Steven Barnes.

Michael completed this illustration around the time I first contacted him about putting together his original website. But for whatever reason, I never received a scan of it for my digital archive.

While sorting through paintings in studio recently, I was excited to see the title on a storage tag and naturally took the opportunity to correct that omission.

The last photo gives a reference to the size of the painting (36" x 27"). The illustration was executed in watercolor and acrylic on watercolor board.
