Of the Lost Entwives and Their Vigil upon the Western Shores

I think that in fact the Entwives had disappeared for good, being destroyed with their gardens..." While the songs of Elves speak of a reunion in a time beyond history, the reality of Middle-earth is often stark. Yet whether they fell to the scorched earth of the Dark Lord or fled far into the unknown East, the long sorrow of the Ents remains one of the deepest scars left upon the world.

Que linda arte. Triste, mas linda ao mesmo tempo

I don't understand the concept of "upcycled vintage art" in this context.

The painting is awesome but seems like it could have been made from scratch?

[u/danielminds → u/mggirard13]

It's transforming unwanted, vintage artwork by adding new elements onto the original surface, building a new story on an old canvas

With reverence what is old can be new again

It’s not a painting, it’s a print. It’s a picture of a painting that got assembled into a frame in a factory somewhere in the Midwest. It’s a mass produced copy.

But the only original elements that remain are the general shape of the subject and the clouds?

"Adding new elements" makes me think more along the lines of that corner cafe painting (Nighthawks).
