This week in art class...

Ulmo, Lord of Waters, with dolphins, an orca (not an orc) a Horn, and a little ship for a hat. 


Yesterday we had a lazy outdoor lunch, and I drew/painted this copper beech tree from life. Not sure about the figures, but then I was drawing in intervals between absorbing a large slice of cake.


Today I did a long walk through pine woods with Rosie Roo: a new walk, from Scrubtor, which is Across the Tamar. The scent of the pine trees in the sunlight was truly beautiful: richer than the scent often is later in the year, with a sort of roundness to it that reminded me of ripe blackberries: I think that may have been the smell of the wet soil drying out, since we have had a good deal of rain.

I do like the tree - and I think the figures look as though they might be absorbing cake themselves, so can have a pass.

I love the orca and dolphins! (And the ship fascinator, of course!)

The color on the tree is lovely.

Your picture of Ulmo and the explanation has somehow given me the idea of an AU in which the lucky and brave among the orcs may just manage, following the call of the Horn, to escape into the Sea and become orcas...

Both the tree and the figures look very summery!

I've actually written that AU now: http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/archive/home/viewstory.php?sid=4140

I hope you don't mind...

I love how you've shown the scale of Ulmo! (I bet the people in that boat were surprised).

The tree is lovely, and the orca-not-an-orc, too!
