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...  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  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 Skin Texture by  Comments
 perfection, this is amazing and you are very talented my friend, impressive indeed
 Thank you very much

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.
