“The White Tower of Elwing”
Oil on canvas, 10″x16″ wide.
Artist Commentary: “On those journeys Elwing did not go, for she might not endure the cold and the pathless voids, and she loved rather the earth and the sweet winds that blow on the sea and hill.

“The Music of the Ainur”
Oil on canvas, 10″x16″ wide.
Artist Commentary: “There was Eru, the One, who in Arda is called Ilúvatar; and he made first the Ainur, the Holy Ones, that were the offspring of his thought, and they were with him before aught else was made. And he spoke to them, propounding to them themes of music; and they sang before him, and he was glad. But for a long while they sang only each alone, or but few together, while the rest hearkened; for each comprehended only that part of the mind of Ilúvatar from which he came, and in the understanding of their brethren they grew but slowly. Yet ever as they listened they came to deeper understanding, and increased in unison and harmony.” – J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion.
