''Only a remnant of our eastern force came back, destroying the last bridge that still stood amid the ruins of Osgiliath. I was in the company that held the bridge, until it was cast down behind us. Four only were saved by swimming: my brother and myself and two others.'

J.R.R.Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings: Book 2, Chapter 2: The Council of Elrond

This is beautifully painted, i especially like the limited colour scheme. It makes the picture sombre and moody, well done on mods!Glad you like it.

Seriously now, when I imagine LOTR I think in Alan Lee and John Howe. You definately captured the look I associate with the books. Beautiful watercolors.Thanks a lot.

Congrats on Mods choice.Thanks.

This is amazing. I absolutely love it! The colors really give a visual affect on the mood that this is portraying, and I don't know why but for some reason Boromir supporting Faramir really appeals to me. We never are given a great amount of information on their relationship, but this visual brings to life what they had. Congratulations, and thank you for sharing this with us.And thank you very much for the comment.

I love your LotR work! This is great....I really like the bleak colors, and the looks on the faces really do convey the emotion well. Congrats on Mod's Choice!
~Muffin QueenThank you.

Welllll...where do I start??

Ok. First, congrats on yet another Mods choice, you deserved every gold-sparkled bit of it.

Next, congrats on one of your very best artworks, also one of the most 'Lord-of-the-Rings-ish' paintings I've every seen, even on your superlative page.

Do you like fan-mail? Well, this is it. I am quite sure you are Alan Lee the Second, and thank goodness there isn't already a Muse of Watercolour Painting. Because you're it, should the posish ever become vacant. Your Luthien pictures...Allright, this belongs to another picture. Anyway, I love your art and the world is a happier, richer place for it. Thank you.*blush* Thank you so much.
