Hey folks, this is my latest piece. Tbh life is…difficult right now. So I wanted to do a piece for GD that wasn’t war, tension, anger, etc. I wanted something that was serene. So I turned to lord of the rings and to a happy peaceful time there before their lives were turned upside by war and grief. Bilbo’s 111th birthday and the arrival of an old friend. A joyful time as Gandalf return to see an old friend. Neither being late or early, just precisely on time. Is this my best work? No. Is it something different? No. But hopefully it can take people back to a serene quiet time of happiness even if just for a moment or two. And if that happens then it’s successful. Thank you for reading and in the full sense of Roman’s phrase “happy painting”. <br />
Thank you to Alfonso and Ben for their help and guidance. The figure is from the lotr set from gamesworkshop. I did some conversion work on Gandalf, adding in reins for the horse, fireworks based off the movie in the cart, a small lantern on the cart, and a pipe for him. The scene is mainly constructed of plastic card, items from greenstuff world and from honourguard’s basing kit. I hope you enjoy.
