The seller indicated that he did ask Larry Elmore and that Larry Elmore denied the painting as being his work.......
Painting created by Keith Parkinson being sold from a private collection . This a color comp in acrylic
created by Keith Parkinson for a TSR book called Bloodstone Land. There is no signature on the painting. Was not intended for print.
These were typically used for pre production or catalog display.
The size of the painting is 10x 15 inches

There has been an error brought to my attention.I have it stated that this is a Keith Parkinson comp. This comp might actually be a Larry Elmore painting. The original cover for Bloodstone Land was actually painted by Larry Elmore so I believe this might have been painted by him although I remember showing this to him and he said he didn't do it so that's all I know.It looks to me like Keith's style more than Larry's. There is no signature on it. The size of the painting is 10 x 15 inches and is in acrylic.

It's highly possible that Keith painted the comp right before he left T.S.R and then Larry painted the actual cover. I can't be 100% sure but as I said Larry didn't recognize it as his. And to me, it looks like Keith's style all the way.
