2003. Acrylics on card (with subsequent digital modification).

An old painting I did for The Big Picture Book (John Long & Brian Choo, Allen & Unwin, 2005) that I've recently found and dusted off.

ca.310,000,000 b.p. Late Carboniferous. Joggins, Nova Scotia.

A representation of the fauna of Canada's World Heritage Joggins Fossil Cliffs. The temnospondyl Dendrerpeton chases a pair of early reptiles (Hylonomus) up a lycopod tree. The little microsaurian amphibian Asaphestera scuttles into the undergrowth. Behind them, the giant millipede-like arthropod Arthropleura forages unconcerned.

I love that Asaphestera, and of course the plants too.

Yeah - microsaurs don't nearly get enough attention these days.

Is this from that book that was basically a quick timeline of Earth, with the possible future at the end?
