It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door…You step into the Road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.
Very nice delicate use of colours and shades - it's lovely . I especially like the window made from the tree boughs and the way that and the leaves fade into the surround keeping you focussed on the centre. Very .
Can't wait to see the rest transformed!!!!
Now let the song begin! Let us sing together
Of sun, stars, moon and mist, rain and cloudy weather...
Thanks for the kind words to this novice everyone. I appreciate your encouragement at this stage. I was just telling Iolanthe that I have been working on that first piece so much that it is time to step away and take a breather from that one before trying to make a final rendition.
So I have gone on to the second piece for right now. The inspiring Tolkien poem is...
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate;
And thought I oft have passed them by,
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.
I think it fits the words better too, Riv, and now there's ivy I can see that the gate is the other side of a wall with a nice Hobbity circular opening .
But I still like the other picture with the bullrushes. Maybe there is another watery verse of a poem that you can adapt it for rather than lose it?
My Gollum and the Ring painting has been put on hold for a bit. It's half done and I am rather less than happy with it. I need to either finish it or rip it up and start again .
Now let the song begin! Let us sing together
Of sun, stars, moon and mist, rain and cloudy weather...
This must be really satisfying for you, RR. I know from the long discussions we had in designing this website that you have a great eye for color, and applying that to our beloved author's words must be a dream come true!
Sing and be glad, all ye children of the West,
for your King shall come again,
and he shall dwell among you
all the days of your life.

Merry, it is amazing. I always knew that Tolkien conjured up vivid images, but I had know idea how interesting it would be to try to make the visual portrait.
Lovely, lovely, Riv! I hope you'll be making these available for purchase through the V-W Marketplace, hmmm?
