The Robin Wood painting is my favorite by far. It’s the first cover she did for Dragon magazine. In the book she says:
I’ll tell you the reason I don’t like to paint dragons—all those scales! I thought I’d never finish! There are five layers of paint on each scale…
She has more to say here.
Beauvais is another favorite of mine. His color schemes and more abstract style set him apart from the reigning realism of the day.
Part one is here.
