"Beleg discovers Gwindor" by Peter Xavier Price

Wow. I am very impressed! The depth in this is amazing! Congrats on your talent!Well, thank you very much.

(sry, so gwindor's alive. Never mind. Sry)No worries!

when i first saw this pic i thought 'what am i looking at there?' but then I saw beleg and the body of gwindor tucked into the roots of that enormous tree. I have to say, theis is one of your best pieces yet. I can't believe how real you can make paintings look!!! I mean, it just looks so gloomy and just sort of evil. That's how it's supposed to be, right. Gwindor has just died. Again, amazing, amazing, amazing, and amazing again!Do more!Once again, thank you for the comment. I really appreciate the time you take, and the depths which you reach, to help me believe that drawing such scenes and presenting them to the public is worthwhile.

Absolutely wonderful and amazing! Where shall I start? Once again, the trees are simply brilliant - I like your way of using them to frame a scene and, in this case, to add an incredible depth to the picture! It is really like looking *into* the wood, not like looking *at* a picture of a wood.
Then, the use of colours! The picture really has a gloomy, haunted atmosphere - one can feel that this is Taur-nu-fuin and not a random forest somewhere else...
And, most importantly, the two elves are so incredibly well placed and done - almost vanishing, hardly discernible in the menacing environment, and Gwindor, who has been enslaved for so long a time, almost entangled in the tree roots... Could be symbolic. ;-) I also liked the use of details, Beleg's bow, for instance (nice hint to who he is)...
And - personal reason once again - finally one more Gwindor picture! There are far too few, but here he is. Thank you! Wow! Perhaps I should continually paint Gwindor images. At least that way, I know I'd be assured of a comment from you! Well, what can I say? To receive yet another detailed comment from what appears to be the biggest Gwindor fan is a great honour. I'm glad you like this image in particular. It was a purpose of mine to deliberately engulf the two elves in the vastness of the evil wood. I didn't want them to stick out like a sore-thumb. And I think you're going along the right track, likening Gwindor to the entangled tree roots, and linking that with his enslavement. You have an eye for detail . Again, thank you so much.

yet again, your amazing skill at drawing scenery is exemplified here. You've definitely succeeded in showing the evil the dwells in this place, without having to resort to extreme unsubtle ways, like PJ probably would have done. Love it!What, such as obsessive slow-motion and zombie rip-offs!? Thanks a lot!

It's great! I love this one and Im reading this part now. love it!Great, I hope you enjoy(ed) the read!

I havent had a strong picture in front of me about this part of silmarillion, but when i saw your painting, it was just like: Aah! This is it! And i felt like i have always known it looks like your pic...Wonderful work!This is great to read, and I'm certainly glad I've managed to match the image to your imagination. Thanks a lot for the comment!
