Lay of Luthien

[lunae_dies]

been a while... busy with commissions and GenCon

This is a 2 part commmission I did for a wedding (images being used to make presents for the party)

Watercolor, 4x11in





There Beren came from mountains cold,
And lost he wandered under leaves,
And where the Elven-river rolled
He walked alone and sorrowing.
He peered between the hemlock-leaves
And saw in wonder flowers of gold
Upon her mantle and her sleeves,
And her hair like shadow following.

As Beren looked into her eyes
Within the shadows of her hair,
The trembling starlight of the skies
He saw there mirrored shimmering.
Tinúviel the elven-fair,
Immortal maiden elven-wise,
About him cast her shadowy hair
And arms like silver glimmering.

The colours are lovely. I like that story too.

thanks:)
Can't take credit for the story, that's all from the Silmarillion
