Elrond Peredhel

"The face of Elrond was ageless, neither old nor young, though in it was written the memory of many things both glad and sorrowful. His hair was dark as the shadows of twilight, and upon it was set a circlet of silver; his eyes were grey as a clear evening, and in them was a light like the light of stars. Venerable he seemed as a king crowned with many winters, and yet hale as a tried warrior in the fulness of his strength. He was the Lord of Rivndell and mighty among both Elves and Men." I stumbled upon a perfectly read Lord of the Rings audiobook and I just had to paint some of my favorite elves. I spent way too much time on this piece but I am quite happy with how it turned out, and I learned a lot while painting it.
