Fine Art Oil Painting for Poetry Book Cover

******** USA ONLY **********

I’m self-publishing a poetry book and want its cover to be an original oil painting. I'm looking for an artist who excels in fine art and has painted, or knows how to paint, covers for books.

I'm looking for a fine artist who can paint work that is:
* melancholic
* surrealist
* impressionistic

The ideal candidate should also know how to accommodate for:
* book trim
* bleed
* title space
* provide a high-resolution, professionally lit photograph or scan suitable for the front cover design.
