"The Visitor" is a very special painting - I worked on it over a period of many years. The local is Big Sir, California, one of the most beautiful coastline experiences in the world. It started out as a seascape and ended up as a message of sorts. Please click on the image tosee the full painting. The original is 24"x60" (inches). It has been exhibited at Westercon, where it won an award, and at a special science fiction exhibit.
