Why this piece is awesome: This is a lovingly detailed depiction of the garden at Imladris (Rivendell), with a somewhat younger Elrond sitting, reading. The notes are interesting as well, giving additional detail. I like the warm tones, and of course the amazing gardens and scenery.

Why this piece is awesome: This is a companion to my last, more upbeat post of the friends sailing to the Grey Havens, done in a quirky, somewhat medieval style. In contrast, this is beautiful traditional art, and heartrending. Gimli is very old, and even Legolas shows his years as he helps Gimli aboard. An extraordinary piece.
