Silmarillion – Hurin Standing Before The Gates Of The Echoriath

by
“For Hurin stood in despair before the silent cliffs of the Echoriath, and the westering sun, piercing the clouds, stained his white hair with red. Then he cried aloud in the wilderness, heedless of any ears, and he cursed the pitiless land; and standing at last upon a high rock he looked towards Gondolin and called in a great voice: ‘Turgon, Turgon, remember the Fen of Serech! O Turgon, will you not hear in your hidden halls?’ But there was no sound save the wind in the dry grasses. ‘Even so they hissed in Serech at the sunset,’ he said; and as he spoke the sun went behind the Mountains of Shadow, and a darkness fell about him, and the wind ceased, and there was silence in the waste.” – J.R.R. Tolkien, Silmarillion

Here is a batch of new plein air paintings I completed this last week on a horseback trip into the Bob Marshall Wilderness.  Our trip started out in Augusta, we then rode up and camped close to the Chinese Wall.  These paintings were completed at different points along the journey.  All of the paintings are gouache/watercolor on illustration board.

I recently completed this shot, and another, for a calendar titled “Glacial Lake Missoula – Sanders County by Air”, with aerial photos by Dave Bennett.  This image was painted to show what Glacial Lake Missoula might have looked liked, and the massive 2000 ft ice dam that held back the waters.
