I love to try to capture elves,in drawing that is, unfortunately not in real life. Luthien Tinuviel is an Elf Maiden who is very inspiring. This was done in watercolour paints mixed with gold and silver inks.

Wow, I think this is one of my favourite pieces of yours. I love the expression, and the face in general. She seems softer, somehow, than some of your other paintings. The background is great, I'm still working on my background-drawing. Again, wonderful portrayal of Luthien.

:-) Denise Elizabeth Smith replies: "Thanks Michelle, I agress, she does have a softer look, it just happened. I became rather fond of her while the painting progressed, if that's not too weird I hope..."

She looks so sad! This is the most potently emotional picture I've seen in your gallery. While some of your earlier works didn't convey as much emotion, the way you've shaped the eyebrows and the mouth shows the tragedy within her. And yet, she's beautiful despite, or maybe because, of her sadness.

I especially love the way you've done the hair in this pic. Watercolour! Right...
