Nefertiti


This is not a real novel. I thought painting some hieroglyphics would be fun... and it was... for the first 12 hours. The next 38 were okay but the last 20 were killer. That's an exaggeration, but it always seems like those things that we get excited to paint because "it would be fun" turn out to torture us worse than anything anyone else could have come up with.
Nefertiti, the second most famous Egyptian queen, was celebrated for her stunning beauty during and after her life. The experts know little else about her.
I was surprised at the BFA open house how many people expressed that this was their favorite of the covers.
