Yay! I haven't seen any pictures of what Nerdanel could have looked like. Very well done. The colour scheme works perfectly with the red hair of each. Maedhros is cute, and I love that dress she's wearing. Fëanor was an idiot for leaving her.

I agree, Fëanor was indeed a fool to leave her, especially judging by this picture. She looks amazing -- very proud, noble and fair, but gentle as well, and very motherly.The overriding flame colour you've used in this piece works really well, especially considering their hair-colour. I just think this is a really adorable image that not many Tolkien fans have yet had the priveledge to see. So thank you for that, and as ever, thank you for another wonderful Tolkien painting. I love them all, keep it up!

Thank you so much for your words!

Why do you think it was him? Perhaps she had enough of his humours and overcoming madness and left him... Probably they had both enough of each other

Pity leaving him was to leave the sons *sigh*

Are you an Earthling?

Great colors again and Nerdanel is so noble and subtle. Nelyo looks like wise and kind boy. Beautiful!

But something is disturbing them - looks like Nerdanel is waiting for Nelyo to tel her what's going on and he considers if he should do it... Or tries to remember the tale.

Awesome, Nerdanel looks very pretty, and young Maedhros is so cute!
