Fan Comments on Lynne's Art

When I saw [Shadows of Light] for the first time, I just had to have it because of the wonderful cover artwork by Lynne Gutshall. It's extraordinarily hard to capture Vincent so well, and most times covers lose the grey-tones. Her artwork makes you feel that he is going to jump off the cover and (hopefully) into your arms.
