This is a view of part of the property opposite ours – “Rivendell” which features in many of my paintings. Given the Lord of the Rings connotations of the name “Rivendell” I frequently riff on the middle earth feel of the landscape as I have with this painting.
This painting is part of series of three (the middle child but much loved) between “Gumtree Blues” and “From the Lane”. Where “Gumtree Blues” is loose and almost naïve (as befits a jazzy title) and “From a lane” is highly detailed, “Road to Rivendell” sits somewhere in the middle.
Oil on canvas in a Tasmanian blackwood beeswax polished floating frame.
9”x12” painted in June 2024. Available at Sutton Village Gallery as part of my “Beyond the Front Gate” exhibition.
