Title: Hero's Fate by fantasy artist Carol Phillips
Medium: oil
Size: 24 x 36 inches
Material: 1/8 inch Masonite panel
This captivating painting was commissioned in 2023 for Tracy Ross's book series, "Shadow Over Shandahar." It proudly graces the cover of the final installment, "Hero's Fate," setting the tone for an epic conclusion.
Depicted in the artwork are the series' main characters, Adrianna and Dinim, as they stumble upon a wondrous scene: a magical pool nestled within a cavern, dominated by a mystical root column that reaches skyward.
While the photos aim to do justice, the painting's true depth, with its rich and vibrant colors and intricate textures, must be seen in person to be truly appreciated.
