Two Trees of Valinor is the name of his piece of art. The Artist name is Roger Garland, a great fantasy artist who painted some art rellated to the J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth novels. He collaborated around 1980s in some illustrated calendars and some say that he has a style in his drawings that look pretty simmilar to what Tolkien himself imagined when he wrote books like The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion and The Hobbit. This painting i posted is one of those used in the calendars and precisely in one of this calendars i saw it maybe about ten years ago in the annual book fair that takes place in La Serena, in the fourth region. It brings to my mind those times when i was little and went to the book fairs with some fammily and spent hours watching from here to there, trying to decide wich book to buy, because unfortunately in Chile books are really expensive.
Well, back to the picture,this one is basically about this two sacred trees that are suposed to be in a paradise lost in time and place at the beggining of the times. I really like the colors in it, they give to the painting that sort of "being dreaming" effect.
