Collection: On The Great Quest Collection
Story Time:
The painting I call "On The Great Quest" was inspired by my interest in the one and only J.R.R Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. For many years I have been a fan of the fantasy masterpiece of literature, going back over the years and returning to Middle Earth and Tolkien's epic novel time and time again.
The story of a magical ring, set in an imaginary medieval land inhabited by Men, Elves, Dwarves and Hobbits. An epic quest to save their world from the evil forces that are threatening to destroy their very existence, is always a thrilling and heroic adventure tale!
This painting is my interpretation of a scene from "The Fellowship of the Ring." Here 9 travelers, a Wizard, two Men, a Dwarf, an Elf, and 4 Hobbits set out on a perilous journey to destroy the ring of power.
At this point in the story the Fellowship have reached a beautiful land called Hollin. With many adventures ahead of them, the sun is just rising, and they have come to a low ridge crowned with ancient Holly-trees, about to embark "On The Great Quest!"
