I’m getting closer and closer to the feel that I’ve always wanted to achieve in my art, and, starting a few months ago, finally began to reach. This is another piece squarely along that road!
Elros and Elrond were taken captive, but Elwing with the Silmaril upon her breast had cast herself into the sea. Thus Maedhros and Maglor gained not the jewel; but it was not lost. For Ulmo bore up Elwing out of the waves, and he gave her the likeness of a great white bird, and upon her breast there shone as a star the Silmaril, as she flew over the water to seek Eärendil her beloved.

Jenny Dolfen Art 
If this isn’t the winner of the 2018 Award, someone isn’t paying attention! Fabulous work!
Jenny you have surpassed all. In your work Tolkiens writing comes alive. Your art is inspiring, thought provoking and breath taking! I have followed your art since I first saw it years ago. You have become a true master of your craft!
This looks fantastic! And it’s great to hear you can put the images from your mind to paper as you imagined them.
This surpasses all the others, for me. I have a soft spot for Ulmo, and this is breathtaking.
