“Amon Sûl”
Oil on canvas, 13″x21″ wide.

Artist Commentary:I spent Saturday among the Weather Hills, east of Bree. Autumnal leaves lingered in the wild, and I hiked the hills seeking for Amon Sûl. In mid-morning I mounted a hillock and beheld the blanched ruins in crystalline morning light. I set up my easel and began to paint. Ere long, a rustling sounded from the tall grass behind me, and a ranger and a Hobbit appeared. They stood before me, surveying the remains of the watchtower, and then descended the hill to join their companions. I watched them all continue on their way, and a chill of foreboding came to me, despite the warmth of the sun and the aching beauty of the wild heaths.
