What are some of your favourite cover arts on FR novels? I personally really love the cover of Realms of the Elves and the whole general Last Mythal covers look really nice when they are standing together.

I also really like the white covers by Daren Bader on the Salvatore's Cleric Quintet books.

Also in general Todd Lockwood covers are fantastic I think my favourite from them is "Exile"

Anything from Clyde Caldwell...but mostly the original Streams of Silver, Azure Bonds, Pool of Radiance, and the Wyvern's Spur.

Streams of Silver:

Azure Bonds:

And, I'm biased, because I love Giogi and this novel so much that I bought the original painting, but this one:

Definitely the original cover of Spellfire. First FR (and TSR) nivel I ever got. Clyde Caldwell, I think:

I'm with both of you on the Spellfire and Streams of Silver covers, those were some of the better pictures. Of the earlier stuff I also really liked Darkwalker on Moonshae and Brom's cover of Prince of Lies.

It's not a novel, but I always liked the cover art by Jeff Easley for FR4 The Magister.

Edited for link to cover art.

If I have to be limited to novels, it would be Elmore's cover of The Crystal Shard.

Now, if you include the sourcebooks, it would be his cover for FR9 The Bloodstone Lands, which was, incidentally, my first FR sourcebook.
