The Mage of Rhosgobel”
Oil on canvas, 21″x13″ wide.
Artist Commentary: I spent Saturday wandering the western eaves of Greenwood the Great. There thickets thin and knolls roll grassy green toward the lap of the roiling river. I set my easel beneath a drystone fence and sought to capture the windy crimsons and saffrons of hill and heath. And suddenly, four ravens came, perching on a nearby birch and proclaiming the Mage of Rhosgobel, who stayed his morning rounds just long enough to refill his pipe. Then, off he went, shepherding his sable subjects as purple plumes scudded across the western skies.

I’m glad that your Radagast’s outfit looks like the costume I made for the 2006 Gathering rather than Jackson’s eccentric fool.

Dan, your version of Radagast was and is far more dignified and worthy of Tolkien’s vision than Jackson’s. I’m indebted to you for such a marvellous vision of how Radagast might have appeared….
