This is the culmination of Six months works by Amonkie, and a perfect Matting/Framing job by PaddyJoe.....by far the best Birthday present I got.

Is that cross-stitch? I've done some in the past, and knowing how hard that was I'm incredibly impressed! What a wonderful gift for you tecoyah.

Anyway, just beautiful! Was it stitching? or was this a painting/coloring of some kind?

I finally remembered what I was thinking of!

It was actually in The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring.

When Arwen is wisking Frodo away on horseback and the Ringwraiths attack them at the river. She does something and the river surges and a giant wave comes thundering down the river and seen in it is the image of stampeding horses made of water. Very cool effect. It's what the picture reminded me of. Just took me a moment to place the visual.
