Brilliant

"Glaurung stirred then for the last time ere he died,
"Hail Nienor, daughter of Húrin. We meet again ere the end. I give thee joy that thou hast found thy brother at last. And now thou shalt know him: a stabber in the dark, treacherous to foes, faithless to friends, and a curse unto his kin, Túrin son of Húrin! But the worst of all his deeds thou shalt feel...in thyself."

Very interesting that the dragon's head is upside down-it is evocative of the sense that Nienor's world has been turned upside down by Glaurung.

Featured your beautiful painting:  RiseThis feature of wonderful art by your fellow Deviant Artists is named after the incredible vocal performance at the end.  I hope you listen--it'll lift your whole day!
As I do each time I try to feature mostly works which have fewer than 200 or better yet under 100 faves, so please check out the galleries of these wonderful artists as well.    Rather than write something about the late spring snow in Santa Fe now, I'll just post the lyrics next to the video and go out and enjoy the beautiful weather!  Have a blessed day, thank you so much for being here and for your support, Christian and otherwise!  With all my always, Debra
      Have a blessed week! -Debra

Gorgeous! I love the look in his face and the sword under his body. Nienor's body language is just masterful! I did not like the dragon design much. Anyways, this one is amazing!
