What picture of Tolkien's work would you like to see?

Tolkien wrote in one of the Letters:
Quote:
I would draw some of the great tales in fullness, and leave many only placed in the scheme, and sketched. The cycles should be linked to a majestic whole, and yet leave scope for other minds and hands, wielding paint and music and drama.
It seems that this has been fulfilled in large part, and many wonderful paintings have been done by talented people of many of the scenes in TH, the LotR, and the Sil, even some of the other works. Some scenes, though, have not, to my knowledge been painted. The one I would like to see would be Galadriel journeying through Moria to get to Lorinand or Lorien, which she did several times. I could see the pillared halls, the lights, the fair Elves of her entourage, and the bowing (or scowling!) Dwarves. Have you a scene that you would like to see portrayed?
