Q:Hi - just dropping a line to say I've loved, loved, LOVED Mr. Whelan's work for a very long time. I own all of his art books and cherish them. His cover for Second Foundation is quite possibly my single favorite piece of sf illustration. I'll stop gushing now...

I want to say, “Don’t stop on my account!” but will restrain myself. ;-)

I’m flattered whenever someone takes the time to convey compliments for any of my artwork, but it’s especially appreciated when a particular piece is singled out for me to remember. 

The girl who posed for that painting is now a mother of two and living in Texas. [But anyone who sees that image recognizes her in the painting, even now. ] I take that as high praise;-)

How time flies!

Thanks again for your nice words.

Michael
