- Manwë - The Blessed One – 40x60cm, Oil on Canvasboard 2024 -
This is my version of Manwë, the noblest and highest of the Valar. Governor of Ilúvatar, the Creator and himself created and described by J.R.R. Tolkien. Dear Mornienna was my model for Melkor's brother. I was so happy that he answered my request positively, because he absolutely fit (and still fits) my idea of ​Manwë's appearance. Pascal put an awful lot of effort into clothing and the photo shoot and I'm really, really grateful to him for that and for the great results. So I had everything to get started! All the better that I was able to present the original painting to him in person at this year's Tolkien Days!! Thank you, dear Wanda, for the beautiful photo and thank you so much, again, Pascal for making this possible!😊
