Artist's Comments

"So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
Gandalf - JRR Tolkien, Lord of the Rings Trilogy

Finally finished... :faint:

And... emm... I must admit, I'm really proud of this drawing ^^; I could never expect that the result would be like this :) I'm truly glad how it turned out :) Ok, the background minimalist and the apples are just ugly but they are not the main topic in the drawing :D

Gandalf is one of my favourite characters in LOTR and I think Ian McKellen was the perfect actor to play him :)

I hope this drawing shows what I prefer in the wizard: his calmness, his contained power and this reassuring wisdom of an old man :)

I congratulate you to this classic work of art of the portraits art. All harvest in this painting radiates masculine superiority, would show goodness, and endless life experience from. The sweet aroma the tobacco pipe encounters the spectator. I am fascinated of the warm orange brown Colormix. The background is discreet and full geniality. The texture of the hairs and the beard brilliantly is drawn. I honor Gandalf. How the hiker Wotan. Fave Love for this.

Und der Liebe ewig Sehnen
Eins in Zwei zu sein,
Eins im andern sich zu finden,
Dass der Zweiheit Grenzen schwinden
Und des Daseins Pein."
