Ethan of Athosby ~stardriv

Traditional Art / Paintings / Sci-Fi

©2011-2013 ~stardriv

A commissioned book cover from 1986, from Baen Books, of "Ethan of Athos" by Lois McMaster Bujold.

Oil on masonite, 15" x 25"

a defining shiver.
I see your hands
around the rounded hills of her shoulders.
Scapulae jutting out with the extremity of the bend,
ungraceful,
like a chicken's wings.
And the bands of these dorsal muscles
stand up like wings,
cast shadows in the dimples of the pelvis that she lifts;
wings
that will fold o
