#i've only managed to get two pictures done for elrond week because i got so carried away with the details xD

[leucisticpuffin]

It's a warm summer's day and Elwing steals a moment from her duties to watch her boys play. As she worries about their future, Elrond's only concern is which of them will end up in the pool first...

For Day 1 of @elrondweek: Childhood and Peace. (Please click to enlarge so you can see all the details properly! I went a bit overboard with the plants and the tiles xD)

Some notes:

Sirion is quite far south in Beleriand, so I imagined it might have a warmer climate and gave them a Mediterranean-ish courtyard garden. The stone swans are Falmari influence.

The little wooden boat was made by Earendil during one of his voyages, and is Elros' favourite toy. While he loves playing make-believe (and splashing other people) Elrond just likes the feeling of the water and the way it ripples when he moves his hand through it.

Elrond's toy seal is made of felt and weighted with a pouch of sand in its belly. He carries it everywhere and can't sleep without it.
