Description
Tall TreesAcrylic; approx 10" x 7.5"
Forgotten Realms, Champions of Valor; internal illustration.

Original artwork sold
Two weary travellers wend their way up the broad avenue of trees, happy to have reached the comfort of home, as the sun dips to the horizon in the west.
In the brief for this piece I was asked to convey a vast elven/druidic tree city; Tall Trees.
I wanted to create a relaxed, atmospheric, feel to the place. Setting it at sunset allowed for the strong slanting yellow light, which helped me pick out the receding form of the trees, whilst adding mood to the setting.

There's something...beautiful, dramatic, epic, powerful, majestic, magical about trees. It took reading The Great Tree Of Avalon Trilogy (the greatest books ever written! Check out the first book: Child Of The Dark Prophecy, written by T.A. Barron) for my mortal eyes to be opened to that magic.

Makes me think of the great and mystical Lothlorien, or perhaps a world that once even existed, when people still believed in such things. Absolutely lovely, thank you for posting.
