Snowlight.

Illustrated in gouache and watercolour.

This image was one of the five selected, in the theme of the month competition (Winter), Novemer 2010, on the website of John Howe (a well known illustrator of Tolkien's work, and other fantastical/historical themes!).
If your eyes are sharp, you'll notice the recurring motif of the "one foot" - the iconic road marker of the caberoi people -
on the prow of a ship elsewhere on this site!
Here, a candle is being set beneath a lantern cover, for travellers to find their way a little easier in the storm.
