Description

'But the Elves were at first unwilling to hearken to the summons, for they had as yet seen the Valar only in their wrath as they went to war, save Oromë alone; and they were filled with dread. Therefore Oromë was sent again to them, and he chose from among them ambassadors who should go to Valinor and speak for their people; and these were Ingwë, Finwë and Elwë, who afterwards were kings. And coming they were filled with awe by the glory and majesty of the Valar, and desired greatly the light and splendour of the Trees.'

JRR Tolkien: The Silmarillion: Chapter 3: Of the Coming of the Elves and the Captivity of Melkor


Watercolour.

This was painted for Warner Bros to appear in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies 3D Extended Edition DVD & Blu-ray box-set, in a 'Making of ...' documentary. Unfortunately it did not make the final cut.

These 3 were made, not born? Awoke on the shores of the inland sea of Cuivenien ,before there was sun or moon, and after the great lamps had been smashed ?
