Thanks for your interest. This is Lorraine Murray. My husband, Jef, passed away in 2015. I can’t give legal permission to anyone to use his work.

Comment on Reepicheep in his Coracle by Mary Lyn Kelley

I would like to buy several prints of the Narnia sketches: Reepicheep In His Coracle, The Wardrobe, the one of Tumnus with presents, and Aslan and Emeth. (Total – 4) I fully intend to buy more but that is all the budget will allow at this point. What is the best way to purchase all 4 at one time?

This is absolutely delightful – the art work is so atmospheric. And the words transported me right into the story – this is a very subtle, yet faithful depiction of Frodo. Thank you – I’m very glad I found your site and paintings!

She’s pretty. No wonder the Ents wanted their wives back.

Is this a hardback copy? I really would rather not purchase paperback unless I have to. Thanks!

Hi Jef! Saw a FB post and was reminded that I needed to order your 2015 calendar! One comment: I did not see any option for ordering multiple copies. Ordering took my straight to PayPal where the number of calendars was “1” only. I simply ordered two (one for Megan, too!) Best to you, Phil

Comment on Owl Express by Mrs. Arthur L Keith III

Mrs. Arthur L Keith III — Fri, 28 Nov 2014 09:26:55 +0000

Hello! I found this web site of yours from Tolkien Books and find it amazing for the content.
The art work is very fine and easy to see the strokes and painting in the work.
I started reading Tolkien and viewing art in the 1980’s and going back for art to the 1965.period.
I have been looking at the own sketch, which helps to see the animal’s feathers and beak positions.
Since I create (voluntary) exhibits for the local public library, I use ideas from stories to recreate sculptures
be it human or animal into a picture or scene. The latest is Edward Lear’s OLD MAN WITH A BEARD.
The idea came to me during the summer when talking to the library tech’s granddaughter about nonsense
characters in books in the 398 and 800’s. The child was perspicacious and pulled books from several
shelves. She loved animals…
I am having trouble painting the sculptured owls since the feathers are many and different colors. The old
man in the rhyme is my husband that I created with aluminum and clay. But the animals colors are difficult.
So after looking at your sketch, somehow it helps me perceive more of the different curves and lines in the
feathers. Thanks! I do not make any money and give everything I create away to children, adults or the library.
Your work is gorgeous. Mrs. ATK

Comment on Christ & St. Peter by Bernadette Crumb

This is one of my favorites of your sketches. I have always loved Peter, who stumbled in his discipleship, but repented of his mistakes, and carried on to be called by the Lord to “feed His sheep”. I think that it is important to remember, that even though his fears overcame him after he’d obeyed the Lord’s command to join Him on the sea, Peter had the faith to take those first steps instead of staying safely on the boat.
