Description "Númenor is a fictional place in J. R. R. Tolkien's writings, which the author intended to be an allusion to the legendary Atlantis. "(c) Wikipedia [link]

The island went into the sea forever, but more than 3000 years later the descendants of it's inhabitans still saw the great wave in their dreams... I think such great was the pain and tragedy of the people, who saw their homeland going under the sea in one moment.

Watercolour monotype.

This is tremendously beautiful and emotional.The fall of Numenor must have realy haunted the Dunedain of the following Ages.

I like how the picture "comes out" of the white paper. It looks like a hole to another world.

So beautiful and cold. I think this is my favorite of yours in this style. The darkness of the eye area really conveys the sorrow of Numenor.

I really love how subtle the wave is in the background.

черный очень добавляет выразительности и глубины. если смотреть просто на пятно - мне видится гроза над городом

DappleHack In reply to bliaaa [2009-03-24 07:57:15 +0000 UTC]

По смыслу как раз гроза над городом - тоже именно то, что надо!
Вообще не очень люблю черный когда в цвете что-то делаю, но тут как раз его и надо было..
