Artist's Comments

"When Indis saw Finwë climbing the paths of the Mountain, and the light of Laurelin was behind him as a glory, without forethought she sang suddenly in great joy, and her voice went up as a song of the lirulin in the sky. Then Finwë heard that song falling from above, and he looked up and saw Indis in the golden light, and he knew in that moment that she loved him and had long done so. Then his heart turned at last to her; and he believed that this chance, as it seemed, had been granted for the comfort of them both. "Behold!" he said. "There is indeed healing of grief in Aman!"
J.R.R. Tolkien, HoME vol. X

One of my favourite fragments from the History of Middle Earth :D Now I see many mistakes in this picture, but I have to try painting watercolours - maybe some day I'll be able to do better works...

Genialnie wyszedł Ci efekt złotego światła ^^ jedyny błąd jaki dostrzegam to byc może proporcje ciała owego mężczyzny... ale możliwe że zle widzę pózno jest trochę :D. Poza tym proporcje to straszna sprawa dla mnie xD. W Twoich akwarelach zawsze najbardziej podoba mi się ta przejrzystośc i delikatnośc kolorów, ile razy próbowałam tak malowac to zawsze przesadzalam z intensywnością nakładania farby... z resztą byłaś świadkiem 2 prób :D

"what is there in this world that truly
makes living worth while?" Death thought
about it. "CATS", he said eventually, "CATS ARE NICE"

Tak, ma za dużą głowę - chociaż w oryginale wygląda to nieco inaczej, i miał być w takim dziwnym odgórnym ujęciu, ale fakt pozostaje faktem :D W akwareli trudno jest przesadzić z intensywnością, chyba że się ma brudną wodę ;) A ty próby perfidnie porzuciłaś, poza tym nie dziw się, że cztery lata temu coś ci nie wyszło :P Dzięki!

Niby trudno jest przesadzic ale ja tego dokonałam... wstyd :D (jakie cztery lata! Dwa najwyżej! :P )

This is beautiful :love: and the quote is, too. I really should read that :)

He that seith other do amiss
And worthy to ber the crowne
Veni, coronaberis"

Yes, it's a beautiful story, although Tolkien wrote much more about the children of Finwe and Indis, than about the parents :)
