A Year at Bag End (and an evil tree)

‘A Year at Bag End’; seven painted variations from an original Bag End sketch with different seasons and weather, animated together for a bit of Hobbity escapism. The music is ‘Earth Aria’ by Paul Fowler.

Each painting is approx. 10.5 x 1.5 inches, in acrylics, gouache and graphite & coloured pencil.

These all started from a single simple pencil sketch of Bag End drawn for the ‘Beyond Bree’ calendar :

Elves at the border

I wanted a border for my Elf portraits, and I couldn’t find what I wanted so I drew it.
But designing it was a long-winded affair, and with so many changes that the best way to show it was with an animation (scroll down).
Above it is a photo of the work in progress, impasto gold paint on black drawing paper.
