Tolkien Etchings

 Graphite Drawing

11 x 15 inches

This is my recent drawing of Gandalf Stormcrow’s great horse Shadowfaxlord, of the Mearas the horses of Rohan, from J.R.R.Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. His silvery grey coat, and unriveled speed, flowing like the wind through the night, make him almost seem like an avatar for the notion of freedom. This is what I was attempting to convey in my first drawing in many years. I think it was moderately successful.
