THE CITY ON TIME’S HORIZON (2019) by Michael Whelan

The first installment in his 2019 LEFTOVERS & PALETTE GREMLINS gallery project

The board used here was previously employed while mixing colors for the cover of Empire of Grass by Tad Williams. Some of the brush marks looked to me like a futuristic city, so that’s what it turned into. I suppose doing an SF image was a rebellion of sorts against so many fantasy commissions these past few years.
