Acrylic painting on canvas 40x50 cm

". . . he came alone to the starlit wood of Nan Elmoth, and there suddenly he heard the song of nightingales. Then an enchantment fell on him, and he stood still; and afar off beyond the voices of the lómelindi he heard the voice of Melian, and it filled all his heart with wonder and desire. He forgot then utterly all his people and all the purposes of his mind, and following the birds under the shadow of the trees he passed deep into Nan Elmoth and was lost. But he came at last to a glade open to the stars, and there Melian stood; and out of the darkness he looked at her, and the light of Aman was in her face." - Of Thingol and Melian, The Silmarillion, J.R.R. Tolkien

Melian is a Sindarin name, from the Quenya Melyanna, meaning "dear gift", from "mel" (love) and "anna" (gift).

Thank you, thank you, thank you FrankHaberland (you know why).
