"Casperson Surf" was a great 'palette' cleanser while recovering from a recent longer assignment.

Pleased to learn that two of my paintings (Friend or Foe and Evening Shore) have been selected as semi-finalists in the 18th International ARC Salon Competition, with the final winners to be announced on January 5, 2026.

I recently completed four oil paintings; a wrap around cover and three interior paintings to be published in the book, The End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov, from Phantasia Press. I started with a smaller acrylic color study of each one that served as a guide for the final art.

Close-ups of all four paintings can be seen in my Science Fiction album.

"Secret Tunnels of Marok" is a new oil painting intended to be the cover art for a gaming book.
