Translations from the Elvish, by B.B., in a Rivendell Library A favorite theme I am gradually working to document in painting from Tolkien's legendarium surrounds hobbit development of the texts we have come to think of as The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The ...

😂This is so true. And now I have a song in my head that I try never to think about regarding R-O-C-K in the USA. I don't know who sings this, but it's rented space in my brain for too many years.

So glad your card arrived. Happy holidays, KB!

I'm so sorry you had such an awful morning and am glad you are okay. I strongly suspect they fell out of the paramedic's pocket. Strange!

Birds are truly one of the best parts of life.

If you've never attended a #Tolkien moot before, may I suggest treating yourself to this end-of-the-year @prancingponypod.bsky.social moot, put on by some of the nicest folk you'll ever meet? Online attendance available and there will be much fellowship! theprancingponypodcast.com/moot/

Thank you so much @catharina24.bsky.social for sharing this lovely unboxing picture of my book! I so appreciate your patronage and am happy the book is bigger and better than you expected. Lovely to see. 🧡

YouTube video by Miriam Ellis Walking Down Into Hobbiton - Miriam Ellis Fine Art

Can you spot the "White Ogre"? Doves from the Grange's dovecote? How about signs of a Gamgee birthday happening on this day? So much to see: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhKS...

Oh, to walk down into Hobbiton! J.R.R. Tolkien's splendid illustration gives us an unforgettable view of The Hill from Hobbiton. Here, you can enjoy the same scene, in reverse as you walk down from Bag End into the village with Bilb...

As you come down from Bag End with Bilbo and Frodo to a small market outside the Grange, there are dozens of details to notice. Full description in my new blog post today including a very special note on clouds at Sarehole Mill! www.miriamellis.com/post/oh-to-w...

🌟New Prints Available Now of "Walking Down Into Hobbiton". Meticulously based on Tolkien's own illustration, but in reverse so that you can see past the bridge into the rest of the village. More details in comments!

Many thanks, Marcel! So happy every time this shows up in my inbox, and I'm grateful for the generous inclusion. I hope a few more people will come enjoy my little topiary discovery.

YouTube video by TolkienGuide A brief and tantalizing peek at Tolkien's desk before it is auctioned off

For those of us who will never see this desk in person, @trotter.tolkienguide.com was allowed to quickly shoot this short clip when he visited the auction house, and share it with us!

Thank you, Jeremy and fellows, for this look at the desk. I hope it finds a good home with someone who will greatly care for it.

😅Beaker is good, but I used to cry when Professor Honeydew would come to my mind because he had no eyes.

Father, this is so apt, I am laughing.

@brianitguy.bsky.social so excited to see this first one of these arriving and thank you for the kind words. Happy holidays to you. Such an honor to have this painting chosen for this year's @tolkiensociety.org Christmas card! It's a bit like getting to be part of the Shire postal-service! 🧡

Wonderful news!

@tolkienguide.com Just following up to say you linking to this inspired me to watch it again. It's such a wonderful chat. There's just no one like Professor Shippey! Winding up my evening with this great video. Thank you for publishing it.

And sorry for my typos everybody. It is a combination of me begin excited to share a new painting with you all and me getting drowsy at this time of night. Time for a cup of tea and some Anglo-Saxon history. Goodnight, friends!

Imagine the cheer and charm of being welcomed to this home by Ronald and Edith. I hope the thought warms your heart, as it does mine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_--...

Something wonderful I noticed while painting Professor and Mrs. Tolkien I am so grateful to the fine Tolkien scholars who continually share wise insights with all of us from their close readings of the texts. What I have to share today is a visual discovery - one which I ...

This portrait is largely based on a lesser-known Pamela Chandler photograph, and it enlarging it, I noticed a detail in the garden that made my heart sing. Please, come and read about this: www.miriamellis.com/post/somethi...
