Title: Beren and Lúthien: growing old together
Artist Name: Mirach
Prompt: 'For our spring and our summer are gone by, and they will never be seen on earth again save in memory.' (Galadriel, The Fellowship of the Ring, "Farewell to Lórien")
Write or create art about a character who has reached old age.
Description: Tolkien and his wife, Edith, as Beren and Lúthien near the end of their life. The names "Beren" and "Lúthien" are written together with their names on the graves of Tolkien and his wife, so it seemed to me like a proper way of honoring them to use their faces for the characters in this drawing.
Rating: General
Warnings: none
Artist's Notes: Stock and references used: pose, background texture, Tolkien and his wife, heraldic devices
