Galadriel, Lady of the Golden Wood. Commission. :)

Every time I think of Galadriel, I think of the song she sings as the Fellowship leaves Lórien:

"O Lórien! Too long have I dwelt upon this hither shore
and in a fading crown have twined the golden elanor.
But if of ships I now should sing, what ship would come to me?
What ship would bear me ever back across to wide a sea?"

Such a beautiful song to portray a dwindling people.

Schmincke watercolours on Montval cold-pressed paper, A3 size. I recently bought a couple of Arthur Rackham artbooks... I think it's working already. God, I adore that man's style.

It was actually drawn from some Hollywood actress's hairstyle. Forgot who it was though. ;)

This face shows just perfectly her few thousand years of age with all the tragc events she's witnessed, great wisdom and authority and reminds me somehow of Laureen Bacall :) Plus elanor is beautifully intertwined with her golden tresses :)
