This weekend had my latest middle-earth painting, The Walls of Moria, hanging at IlluxCon/IX Arts convention.  Since I do not have much of that painting in process shots, I share with you here another painting as a surrogate, Éowyn and the Lord of the Nazgûl.

Enjoy!

(my apologies for some of the jumps in process oils, I tend to focus upon painting, not photographing what I am doing!)
