Cover this month...
John Cullinane: The Three Fates, oil on board, 90 x 120cm

From the cover of The Office as a Boat, (Brandl & Schlesinger), to be reviewed in the next issue.
The whereabouts of the painting is unknown to the artist -- apparently it was stolen by an admirer of the work.
Cullinane hopes that someone will recognise the painting from the book cover and this may restore the painting.
