Today in Art Class: a Different Kind of Seascape

[bunn]

This was a standard exercise, using cloud, cliff and sea together to create a painting where the eye is drawn to the light in the middle distance, and a figure gives scale to the cliffs.  We all used different figures: obviously mine is Maglor.  This meant I had to explain Maglor to the art class.  They were a little puzzled, but seemed sympathetic!

I like it a lot!
The glimpse of the hand with the Silmaril in the frame is neat, too. Was the frame part of the exercise, too, or is it all your own addition?

Lovely picture. I like the contrast between the colour of his clothes and the colour of his surroundings. I am, however, a little worried he's about to get cut off by the incoming tide. Or, at the very least, get very wet feet. But maybe his angst is too great for him to care about soggy toes.

Strangely, when I view this on my phone, the word "figure" appears as "div," even though no other word is changed. Considerable baffled googling ensued, to no avail. Finally I gave up and was going to ask you what it meant. Fortunately, I went to my computer to do so, so was able to see that actually you'd said nothing of the sort - just in time to abort what would have been an incomprehensible comment. It's all rather odd.
