Hello. recently obtained some Kelly Freas artwork. need help identifying this piece. I recall seeing this cover in years past. but not sure if it is from an Asminov book or from the Science Fiction magazine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! since I am a newbie to this group, I can not give a link or insert photo. the description is below. if this sounds familiar - let me know how to contact you and I will email you photo or link to the photo.
Kelly Freas painting: Preliminary for an Asimov cover (marked on back "Asimov Cover" by artist). ALIEN & SPACEWOMAN next to ROCKETSHIP. exact title not known. Cover concept painting 1960's to early 1970's vintage. Tall Alien has hand on shoulder of Spacewoman wearing bubble helmet. in background is upright rocketship. orange and pink wash background. interesting style. painted on art board. slightly large size. approx. 8" by 9.25". signed KELLY FREAS in lower right.
 
Just trying to be helpful here, but may I suggest that if you want the help of the board, you do the work and make it easy?
 
I don't see how he's supposed to post the picture if he's not yet allowed to upload attachments, Omphalos.

I've seen that picture somewhere before, although I have no idea where. But there's a good chance someone will recognize it from your description and actually remember where it first appeared.

Oh. New user. Didn't get that before.
 
Thank you. can not post photos because I am new member. I will gladly email the photo or a link to the photo if anyone wants to view it. contact me. I have gone thru the photo galleries and have searched many websites and looked at Ebay auctions. no luck. I KNOW that I have seen this piece, or very similar piece in the past. but my mind does not work as well as it did 30 years ago!! any help is greatly appreciated.
 
here is the address of the photo. you can cut and paste it. please remove the "spaces" in the address and add www in the front. sorry for the cryptic message. thank you.

Thank you so much for checking it out and a GIANT thank you for posting the url for me. here's hoping someone will know. It really bugs me, because I think I owned the book or magazine in the past!
 
You're quite welcome. Knowing how frustrating such memory glitches can be, I hope this helps to get you the answer....:)
