When Faramir, Éowyn, & Merry need help from the Houses of Healing, there is no charge for the service. Aragorn and the healers healed because it's the right thing to do when anyone is sick or hurt, and because the place of healers in Gondor was respected & supported. This is how this should work.

The reality of nature is abundance. Depriving anyone of this bounty is a derangement. The earth would give every little person plenty to eat if a few confused and hurtful people stepped aside and sought help for their tragic misunderstanding of life.

Observing All Saints' Day today with a study of Tolkien's Confirmation saint, St. Philip Neri who was filled with hobbit-like humor, inspired elf-like music, and cared for Rome's most exploited folk with great mercy. His founding of the Oratorians gave #Tolkien a second home in his orphaned youth.

Farmer and Mrs. Cotton are some of my favorite hobbits because of the way they feed the Gaffer during colonization of the Shire by ruffians. They take care of the poor and the elders. Choices!

October the 24th! Frodo awakens safe at Rivendell and then is lead by Sam through the high garden to the East Porch where Gandalf, Merry, and Pippin await him. Faithfully based on Professor Tolkien's own paintings and drawings of Imladris, but in reverse view. #Tolkien #TolkienArt

Every fall, I enjoy the Lothlórien effect that Frodo experienced - one of those gifts of fairy-stories #Tolkien cited of seeing the primary world with refreshed eyes. The golden poplars in my neighborhood become the Mellyrn! Or at least, mementos of their splendor. Truly, it is a gift.

Some think "picture books" are only for children, but if you loved beautiful artwork as a child, that little person in you may be wondering when they'll get spend so happily again.

Very honored that my book, The Art of Mercy in Middle-earth, received a favorable review from Nancy Martsch in the respected Beyond Bree Newsletter. I especially appreciated her praise of my hobbits and lighting, as well as my more painterly than graphic approach. Very thankful! #Tolkienbooks

Happy weekend, #Tolkien friends. No new paintings to share today, but I am studying the Oxford Oratory and, for a moment, looking at this front door, I felt as if saying "Speak friend and enter" might cause it to open. Do you see what I see?
