Lothlórien - watercolour and acryla gouache on paper I wish I had time to get back to my Tolkien series, these are so much fun. 💙 Prints on saIe for a bit longer! 💙

The tree city of Lothlórien, home of the elves. A spiral staircase winds up a giant tree with golden leaves, buildings hanging from its brances like ornaments. At the top of the image, the fellowship greets Galadriel and Celeborn. At the bottom of the image we see Frodo peering into the basin with Galadriel.
