“Bucklebury”

Oil on canvas, 13″x21″ wide.

Artist Commentary: On Saturday, I hiked the hills of Bucklebury, near Brandy Hall. The midsummer air was clear and cool after the rains, and legions of wildflowers sprang in gilt splendour from the fragrant loam.

Atop a high ridge south of the Hall, I stopped to breathe in perfumed air and to paint. Two hobbit children gathered roses near the front steps of their smial, and in the distance, the meandering Baranduin wandered away toward the south, its confluence with the Withywindle lost in the blue haze of distance, and of time.
