Plein Air Painting
Salmar stumbled while climbing up the cliff on the narrow pathway. His Lord's realm lay far below him and the cliff top was still a long climb ahead. His easel shifted, bumping his thighs.
'It would have been so much easier to just go there unclothed,' he thought as his hand slipped and scraped against the sharp rocks. 'But no...I am a plein air painter and I must bring the full experience of the journey as well as the broader landscape onto my canvas.'
He continued onwards, struggling up to the flattened cliff top. Once there, he saw with delight that a small patch of niphredil was growing near the cliff’s edge. It was both unexpected and beautiful.
He would never know that Lord Ulmo had arranged to have the flowers grow just there so that his beloved servant could experience the joy of their delicate beauty and scent while he continued exploring his newest artistic hobby.
Yvanna had asked her brother, “Why, Ulmo? Why do you want niphredil to grow at these heights, far distanced from the two areas of Middle Earth where I intend them to flourish?”
He had responded, “Their color reminds me of the Ulumúri which Salmar wrought so beautifully for me. This white color is rare in my domain and I would have him enjoy the sight of something so delicate while he paints the sea waves crashing on the cliffs below him.”
Yvanna had shrugged her shoulders, but she had arranged for the small patch of flowers to grow overlooking the ocean in that one small area of Endor because of the great love that she bore for her brother.
Many years later another artist, although one who worked with a palette of sound rather than paints, stumbled upon the small field of niphredil and stopped to look in wonder. Maglor took a day out from his journeys to revel in the beauty of blue skies and seas contrasted with the white clouds and the delicate white flowers, all perched onto the stark stone cliffs of the broken land.
A/N Plein air painting is a specific style of painting where the artist paints on location.
