Which Tolkien artist is your favourite? Why? Are there any works of theirs which you particularly like (use links, please)? An internet search can probably bring up some results, but The War of the Ring ( www.warofthering.net/gallery/galleries/index.php?cat=2&page=1) seems to have a good selection. I've only listed some of the better-known artists: feel free to mention someone not up here! Elen sila lumenn omentielvo, Lomadia |

I voted for the good ole Canadian boy - Ted Nasmith. I've had the privilege to correspond with him and he's really cool.

I'm going with Anke Katrin Eissman. As was once said on another forum I used to frequent, she, as a woman, seems to, in general, portray more intimate, personal scenes from the books, which I suppose I prefer. However, she also keeps a hint of romanticism to her paintings, so that they still pass as scenes from a heroic epic. Here are two of my favourite paintings, followed by a link to her personal website: anke.edoras-art.de/cgi-bin/lotr4.pl?file=funeral_boat.jpganke.edoras-art.de/cgi-bin/lotr6.pl?file=Houses_of_Healing.jpganke.edoras-art.de/ |

The direct links to the pictures are locked, which prevents hotlinking. To view her artwork use the last link ~ anke.edoras-art.de/ |

Sorry about that- I forgot about her no-direct-linking policy. The two paintings to which I meant to link are entitled "The Funeral-Boat of Boromir" (Book IV) and "In the Houses of Healing" (2002, Book VI), if anyone is interested.
