I’ve just submitted my acrylic painting “Old Toby and old tales” to the Tolkien Society Awards 2026 in the category Best Artwork – and the first round of public voting is now open 🌿
This piece was inspired by the quiet magic of Middle-earth: shared stories, pipe-weed, and the timeless comfort of friendship by the fire.
If you enjoy my interpretation of Tolkien’s world and would like to support me, I’d be very grateful for your vote. 🤍
You can find the voting link and the artwork link below.
No matter the outcome, I’m so happy to be part of this journey, and I want to thank you for your support – and may there always be time for old tales, good company, and a bit of Old Toby.
