"Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer."
-Samwise Gamgee

Fresh snow outside! A good day to share this winter wonderland I painted... ❄ created with ink, watercolor, and acryla gouache.

Painting of Hobbiton Hill at dawn after fresh snowfall. Hobbit doors set into a hillside, with warm light coming from the windows, smoke from the chimneys, pine trees and bare trees in the landscape. The sun is rising but stars are still visible.

I mean it does make a certain kind of sense, an evil facist wouldn't consider happy people civilized 🤔

The kind of people who don't cause strife both for themselves and others in the name of ambition have no use to a Dark Lord 😁

I'm re-reading The Hobbit for the first time in 33 years. As a child it was a book I re-read frequently. Probably a hundred times or more.

I'm in the middle of chapter 2 and my thoughts are so far: I am now slightly older than Bilbo but I don't remember him seeming old, probably because he was the only one without a beard.

We've just come to the trolls and their names are William, Bert, and Tom. Again, not a detail I recall but it's cracking me up.

    My favourite illustration so far is this small study of Thorin, sulking on his throne.

    I would so love to get my hands on prints of a few of those illustrations. My weak-butt google-fu in this area doesn't bring up anything useful. Any pointers?
