'Middle-earth' paintings
I just found this site of paintings by Crispin Thornton Jones & couldn't believe how much they reflect my own mental images of Middle-earth.

some of these remind me of the world of ME before the great sundering at the End of the First Age |

Great paintings. You are referring to the landscapes, I am guessing? Because at first I thought you meant this guy actually made Middle-earth paintings concerning Tolkien and his stories. If you're talking about the landscapes...I agree. |
It would be the light, the kind of illumination, as well as the intensity of the colours, in both davem's and StW's artists, which remind you both of Middle-earth? Or simply the kind of geography shown? The land is not wild, but neither is it dominated by agricultural control.

I REALLY like Ted Nasmith's landscapes, though his people are lame.
Those Masterslight paintings are swell, too...though I could do without the new age piano... |

http://www.terbushgalleries.com/tsitsog.jpg Check out this painting by Terbush called "To Stand In The Shadow of God". Its as close as I could ever imagine anyone painting the unspoiled Middle-earth before anyone else arrived there. Some of his landscapes are just amazing for the epic presentation and multi-light sources which give it a feel of other worldlyness. bethberry asks Quote:

No one has got as close to Middle Earth for me with a brush as this man has with his camera, but then I am probably biased because so many of the pictures are of my local area which I have always thought could double for parts of ME - Eriador certainly.
