Description
'In the morning she woke, and rejoiced in the light as one first called to life; and all things that she saw seemed to her new and strange, and she had no names for them. For behind her lay only an empty darkness, through which came no memory of anything she had ever known, nor any echo of any word. A shadow of fear only she remembered, and so she was wary, and sought ever for hidings: she would climb trees or slip into thickets, swift as squirrel or fox, if any sound or shadow frightened her; and thence she would peer long through the leaves before she went on again.'JRR Tolkien: Unfinished Tales : NARN I HÎN HÚRIN

Thank you so much! I'm actually working on a new picture of her right now as a young girl. You can see a detail of the work-in-progress on my FB site

Much appreciated my friend. I toyed with the idea of portraying more of her body, but liked the framed composition this way in the end.

Most excellently done! You followed the text perfectly, and brought the passage to life better than I had previously imagined it.

Really appreciate the kind words, Zeonista - it's a particular compliment (and indeed rarity) to surpass the viewer's imagine, so I'm really humbled by the praise. Cheers

So beautiful! I love your interpretation of this character, her expression and her beautiful features. I think this is one of the best depictions of Nienor that I have seen, you've captured her very well! I like also the details on the background and the composition , the soft and bright colors of the painting. Everything is beautiful and accurate

That's a high compliment indeed, as Nienor has been portrayed fairly frequently and indeed very nicely by many artists - so thank you! She should indeed be a beauty like her mother I think (and indeed her brother), but I also tend to picture her as somewhat sturdy and thick-limbed like her father too

I agree, it's been one of my favourite tales for a long time now - as my numerous takes on the subject testify, I think

I don't know if I find her or the environment more beautiful.

Thank you so much Eva! This scene is based on photographic reference of a tree taken back in the Springtime. It took me a long time to finish the painting though

Gorgeous… The play of light in this is beautiful…

Glad you noted this, as I took quite extensive photographic reference of this tree back in the Spring of this year when the cherry blossoms first opened (with this scene in mind)
