"Telperion the White" by Gunvor Paludan

Very serene and the sky is beautiful. Good job!

Da Vinci in Action baby!

Very beautiful, and suitably light-filled work!

*sighs* Wow, this is beautiful... It seems really simple when you first look at the thumbnail, but as soon as the picture loads, you open your eyes, and it just... glows. And I mean literally. You know the way that your eyes get slightly tired as you look at the moon? They actually did that while I was looking at this picture. It's really wonderful the way that you made the tree just... beam like that. I wish I knew how to do that with watercolors o_O I remember doing a watercolor of the ocean and the moon, but the best I could do was add more and more what watercolor to the moon... didn't really work all that well It certainly was white though. Hehe.

Tolkein is great, isn't he? What a wonderful, brilliant man.

The clouds, too, really seem to be billowing in your piece. I don't know if you really meant for there to *be* clouds, but the heavens look just wonderful.

That deeper blue bit of the sky, to the right? Lovely.

... *adds this to her favorites links* Great job. Watercolor is a very hard medium to work with (I find, anyway!!), I am always so impressed by watercolor artists... this is really wonderful.

Keep it up,

Awesome! A good representation of Telperion, well deserving of Mod's Choice. I wish you would also do one on Laurelin. I'd give anything to be in that time and place when the Two Trees were in bloom.

My nose started hurting when I looked at it, for some odd reason, then stopped when I looked away. Coincidence?
(I'm trying to figure out what the *other* f-word that is banned is)

ai ai!! Where are all the comments?? Tolkien is a genius indeed...
I like the style, it reminds me of Tolkien's personal illustrations, especially the way you did the stars and coloring. I don't suppose you've ever read that book, J.R.R. Tolkien, Artist and Illustrator? It's really awesome, and this lovely pic reminds me of it
Melkor AND Ungoliant are dirty gits

It reaminds me of that book, 'the little prince'. it's a lovely pic, i love the lighting great gallery too xxx

Beautiful! Tolkien is one of my favorite writers too. Nice job on the Tree.

That's really good! I've always wanted to see the two trees, but alas...

However, I always imagined that its /leaves/ cast most of its light. Not saying this is bad, but what do you think?
