ARKADY by Michael Whelan, cover for Isaac Asimov’s Second Foundation

And whomever the model is for Arkady, I think I fell in love with her when I first read this Foundation novel, back in my late teens to early 20’s…

Michael doesn’t always use a model for his paintings, but he did for this one and his depiction of Arkady really looks like her—even to this day!

Kelly was actually in quite a few of Michael’s paintings—GREEN ANGEL TOWER, ORB (Being a Green Mother), and PEACE to name a few—because she worked for us for a long time. Two of her sisters posed for paintings as well.
