Yes, it’s not always easy to find art books by modern artists, sadly. And they’re also quickly sold out. I was recently looking for Jesper Ejsing's book, but it is also sold out. I got the Larry Elmore book on Kickstarter.
It was Éowyn fighting a Nazgûl, I think
Yes, I linked that painting to someone who commented she liked Eowyn. It’s a fantastic painting, you’re right that the light in that piece is wonderfully done. The Hildebrandt brothers were true masters. Another painting of theirs that I think has interesting lighting is “The Gift of Galadriel” (https://www.reddit.com/r/TolkienArt/comments/ioz8u4/the_gift_of_galadriel_by_greg_and_tim_hildebrandt/). In the picture in the link, the colors are a bit too yellow and bright; the original work is softer on the eye. But I always loved how the sun fell on Galadriel's white dress, and that light reflected on the kneeling Aragorn.
