I'm new to this site and am a big fan of all things tolkien.
i decided to do this painting on tolkiens birthday this year. I still need to add the border to it but thought i would put up a pic of it in progress.
hope you all like it

I would like a copy of that print, Bert. Your painting is very Tolkienesque. I like how you used the colors from The Hobbit dust jacket. Very nice!

thanks for any interest guys i will not be selling prints as i made this painting for enjoyment. I have a good printer that is very reasonable in price and will be making 20 signed numbered prints.
I think one of my favourite parts of tolkiens writting is the generous nature and kindness of his characters.
so keeping that in mind and with it being the old boys birthday recently it hardly seems fair to try and make a quick buck
about 5 of the prints have already gone.
once the prints are done i will post on the forum and take a few addresses of those interested
