221-winds-of-change-dixon - cover for Asimov anthology depicts a bald eagle witnessing the departure of the last humans from earth. This symbolic science fiction illustration features a prominent bald eagle perched on a gnarled, weathered tree branch in the foreground, looking out over a coastal landscape at sunset. In the background, a massive, vertically oriented colonial transport vessel or interstellar spacecraft hovers on a brilliant cushion of white light above a sprawling, futuristic architectural facility situated on the water's edge. The dramatic sky transitions from deep blue at the zenith to vibrant orange near the horizon, where a distant sun sets behind soft, scattered cloud layers beneath a pale crescent moon. Acrylic and Gouache on illustration board, 1985.
