Galadriel is one of my favourite characters. And the chapter about the mirror is possibly one of my favourite ones from the Fellowship of the Ring. It has a very magical feeling to it. And Galadriel herself has so much background. She's the oldest noble elf in Middle-earth. I wanted her to have a powerful and misterious feeling, that is why I imagined her with an aura of light. I wanted that source of light to be the focal point of the painting. And as once again, being an elf, I painted her with a classical elegance and greek clothing. I got myinspiration froma neoclassical scultpure. Sam's face is also based on a neoclassical bust. It's made in watercolours.

I love this version of Galadriel. She looks so elegant and ethereal. Everytime I find pictures of her on Elfwood, she seems to be missing that spark, that glow...and you captured it perfectly. You are very talented; keep it up.

WOW! Love it. The colors are lovely. I wish I could do colors! I love pretty much everything about this piece. The only thing that gets me is that Galadriel looks a bit mad. And anger is something that I did not imagine on Galadriel, not at that point in her story anyways.

I have to thank you. I LOVE that you have painted Galadriel with this aura of light! It looks beautiful and closer to how I have imagined Galadriel than many other pictures I've seen. Well done!

I LOVE this picture!!!! Galadriel is my favorite character from The Lord of the Rings. I think the light surrounding her is awesome, the bottom of the mirror and the background are amazing, too!!!

Did you paint this after seeing the film or before? Because it looks very much like the scene in the film...^_^ It’s a very good picture!
