Description Long time no new Tolkien illustration and so I had a painting deficit. 
Foud this picture of Altai mountains: photo  from this website  and suddenly it was clear that an Ossiriand landscape is about to appear on the paper.

I'm not sure which of the seven Ossiriand rivers do we see in the picture, but definitely not Gelion The only certainity are the Blue mountains, Ered Luin, at the background
Watercolour on A3/A4 
Have a nice day!

I am absolutely enchanted by how soft those grassy hills look. I just want to stroll through this landscape and lie down in one of the valleys close to a gurgling stream...

Lovable scenery, I can feel those slopes rushing down to meet rivers and lakes. My fav is way you drew grass in left lower corner.

Beautiful! I always loved the idea of Ossiriand...I love rivers! The watercolour looks amazing - so real!

Thank you! I might try painting more Ossiriand pieces, especially because Ossiriand has been mostly described as covered with elm forests

You're welcome! Looking forward to see them. Elm trees are one of the trees I'm not really familiar with from my surroundings...would be nice to see what that looks like.

I wish I had a real photo of a place like this. But Orlando is limited.

There's a photo of the original landscape (you'll find a link to that photo is in the description), thad worked as an inspiration for this picture, but yes, still it was only inspiration
