Cover Illustration for Bohomag and there "Garden of apples" by M.Nova

I did 2 versions of this as the client didn't want the 2 little trees in and then decided I should extend the whole pic to make it a full wrap around cover.

The 2 sides represent winter/death and summer/life a choice between good and evil.

full cover wrap can be seen here : www.jeshannon.com/applescover.html

I thought I would keep the smaller version with the trees as I liked it

some details here : www.jeshannon.com/applescover2detail.html

Cheers.
