“Brandywine” by Jef Murray

Artist Commentary: ‘The Baranduin river (recast as “Brandywine” by the Hobbits who lived near it) separated Buckland from the rest of the Shire. It could only be crossed readily via the Brandywine Bridge and by Buckleberry Ferry.

In this painting we’re resting with Gandalf and Frodo on a rise overlooking the river. It is a summer’s day and although there are some high clouds, the scene is one of peace and leisure…a true Shire outing through the beautiful rolling hills’

Jef Murray’s first full-length book, Seer: A Wizard’s Journal, is now available from Oloris Publishing.

Faramir: You wish now that our places had been exchanged - that I had died and Boromir had lived.

 Denethor: Yes. I wish that.

 Faramir: Since you were robbed of Boromir, I will do what I can in his stead. If I should return, think better of me, Father.

Denethor: That will depend on the manner of your return.

I went to a wedding today where the bride walked down the aisle to “Concerning Hobbits.”

Just.

I’m so tempted to steal this idea.  That is just so fantastic.

Oh, I’ve wanted to do this for years! That and have the bridesmaids come as Elves.
