PZDR,

I don't know quite why I liked this piece. It was so fresh (like the first snow itself) and so original that it stayed with me.

I especially liked the image of Maedhros turning his face towards the snow.

The following lines were also memorable:

Father, what jewel would you forge if you could capture a snowflake before it reached my face?
How would you save the white frost gracing the world at dawn? Preserve a pattern embroidered with ice?

Apart from the beautiful imagery, I loved the idea of capturing a snowflake and of preserving a delicate thing of beauty.

The picture was also beautiful, and made this piece more memorable for me. Also, I think you're a great artist (although I know nothing about art)!

I'm favouriting this piece; thought I'd let you know.

Hi Mistrali, thank you so much for kind words :)

This is my fav part of the story, too, the other came without plan, sometimes I think it would have better effect if I left him with his thoughts uninterrupted. The whole story is result of imagining the picture of his face in snow. I'm glad you like the image, too - I guess you're talking about the newer image from August (which I just liked here, too). I'm sure I'll paint it anew in the future to get even closer the image which made me to put this scene it in words :)

(One doesn't have to know a lot about art to appreciate it, all what matters is if it leaves impression.)

Regards!
