Asia, Gravitas Album Cover / Silver Birch, 2014/2020

This image was used on the cover of ASIAs thirteenth studio album release, Gravitas. It was the last album recorded/released with singer John Wetton before his death in 2017.

"I had been sketching and photographing silver birch for a while, usually while out in Ashdown Forest walking the dog. In particular, when they grow in clumps they often have mossy "gardens" in the centers of these groups. When discussing this cover with John, his preferred title was Valkyrie, and with the dragon-like creature in the background, mine too!"

Release Notes:
The painting was completed in 2014, this print was published in 2020.
