We are seeing 7 objects the shape and almost the color of very nice strawberries turned leaf side down towards the plate. they are seated in some chunky red sauce, uterly obcuring the toast rounds the recipe told me would be there. There is a sprig of green (parsley) between each puff.

You've got a red ball of a tomato surrounded by two layers of white petals sculped of cream cheese on a bed of greens. I'd say it looks more lotus than rose.

Because Alan Lee's work *is* LOTR to me, I find myself going - "Are these Silmarallion Elves? Who's THAT" at some of the illustrations :'D

Watercolor of A priestess of athena in the trojan temple to her. Her long hair and draped clothing give strong tolkien elf vibes when combined with alan lee's style.

Watercolor of Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite as they appear to Paris. Again the draped clothing and long hair give strong elf vibes, though Athena's helmet gives it away.

isweedan@isweedan· 26d

Did you guys KNOW that Alan Lee illustrated an edition of Rosemary Sutcliffe's 'Black Ships Before Troy'? It's GEORGOUS. I think a fair bit of historical research went into the look too.
