Music Lesson In a Tree
It was little Celegorm’s idea that Cousin Fingon’s music lesson should take place in a tree. It’s possibly not the least distracting place to have a music lesson. Fingon and Maglor are playing Anglo-saxon style harps (hearpe) which are much more practical for climbing trees (or Thangorodrim) with than a modern harp would be. Fingon is playing a jewelled silver hearpe, which Maglor rather disapproves of (I decided that Maglor should disapprove of silver harps when I remembered that Elrond's harp at the end of Lord of the Rings is silver. That might not make sense, but hey.)

As usual, I liked the pencil sketch of the faces better than the final painted version:
