SF&F Picture 17 out of 35 by Jenny Dolfen.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Fields of Gold

You'll remember me when the westwind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold

--Sting

I had almost forgotten this song from 1993 and nearly cried when I heard it again a few weeks ago. It was the summer where I read the Silmarillion for the first time, and it always reminded me of Amarie, the beloved of Finrod who had not left Valinor with him. When I heard the song again, the picture just popped up in my mind.

Watercolour and Photoshop.

4 Nov 2007	Matthias Schmidt	Loading... Yes, that fits my imagination of "Fields of Gold". I like how the wind is swirling her hair... and the corn poppy gives the picture something special. Did you know that the Bulgarian word for corn poppy, "bulka", also means "bride"?
28 Dec 2007	Renate Brecht Jongbloets	Loading... nihiiice!! How did you do the sunlight areas, with paint? Or still with a computer aditor?
7 Feb 2008	Silly	Loading... I can almost feel the warm wind in my hair...I like her expression, Very nice art
4 Mar 2008	Glo 'the Bug' Bowden	Loading... Oooh! My gosh! I saw this picture once upon a time, before I’d even gotten an account on elfwood I think. It inspired me then, and it still inspires me now! I’m glad I could find it again after all this time! Sooo lovely... The flow of her hair and gown, the golden fields...sighs I especially love the red of the flowers! And I’d love to have a dress like that...
14 Mar 2008	Désirée Ruth Dippenaar	Loading... The perspective is stunning, and again, the colours are excellent. I like the wistfulness of her face expression, the way she looks at the sea as though she’s regretting her decision to stay behind. I also like the wind in her hair, and the birds in the background, as well as the poppies. Really really beautiful!! And reminds me, I should read Silmarillion again... I’ve forgotten practically EVERYTHING!
4 Apr 2008	Kristin Bjargey Gunnarsdottir Jonsson	Loading... Beautiful!
11 Apr 2008	Ruth Anne Kackstaetter	Loading... What a perfect image for this song. I sang it once in choir and that is exactly how i pictured it.
21 Apr 2008	Felicity Endings	Loading... You should have done little red speckles all over the far-away fields!! It looks E-X-Q-U-I-S-I-T-E!!!
8 May 2008	Mie 'Stormwing' Bendiksby	Loading... Fields of Gold - that’s my favourite song! The image suits so well - I get an inner peace just by looking at it! I love it!
