“The Wanderer“

Oil on canvas, 13″x21″ wide.

Artist Commentary: The years weighed heavy on the old man as he moved through the dunes. The sun was setting at last in these extreme northern climes, and now the day’s heat would begin to dwindle. Both first and second moons were visible just above the distant horizon, partially obscured by dust devils that heralded the coming of a storm. They, too, would set soon, although their light would be blotted out by the storm long before then. The robed figure hoped to have reached the safety of the rocks before the storm overtook him, but in the meantime, he would light his path by the glow of the crystal atop his staff.

“Star Kindler“

Oil on canvas, 13″x21″ wide.

Artist Commentary: ‘Then Varda went forth from the council and she looked out from the heights of Taniquetil, and beheld the darkness of Middle–earth beneath the innumerable stars, faint and far. Then she began a great labour, greatest of all the works fo the Valar since their coming into Arda. She took the silver dews from the vast of Telperion, and therewith she made new stars and brighter against eh coming of the Firstborn; wherefore she whose name out of the deeps of time and the labours of Ea was Tintalle, the Kindler, was called after by the Elves Elentari, Queen of the Stars” – J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

“The Ring Goes South“

Oil on canvas, 13″x21″ wide.

Artist Commentary:

I spent Saturday hiking the empty crags and peaks in the westernmost foothills of the Misty Mountains. The December day was chilly, but the winter sun made many of the heather-filled vales hint of the warmer days of autumn ending. As I was seeking for it, I came suddenly upon a prospect opening nearly at my feet: the edge of a cliff that fell down, down from the heights and into a green valley cleft into the rock below. From this height I espied waterfalls on the cliff face opposite me, and these plummeted to dwelling places that ran along a river below.

As I stood there, marveling at the view and considering whether I should attempt to paint it, I saw movement on the slopes before me. Soon an unusual couple strolled my way. The first was a tall old man with a staff; the second clearly a halfling, although why he was here so far from the Shire, I couldn’t guess. Then it dawned upon me. Certainly, these must be guests of the Last Homely House, which lay at the base of the cliffs upon which I then stood.

“The Wizard’s Tale“

Oil on canvas, 13″x21″ wide.

Artist Commentary:

The old man sat down opposite the boy. His hair and beard were gray and he passed his hand across his brow as one whose recollections
require the touch of flesh to refresh them.

“I shall tell you the tale of Linya. She was a lesser ring; never one of the Great,” he began. “She was wrought of plain silver, and her stone was of sapphire. But her jewel reflected the very colour of the ocean’s abyss — the deepest aquamarine blue — and her power, like that of water itself, was fluid and changeable; it varied with each new master….”
