Old Toby and Old Tales

– Acrylic on canvas – 60 × 60 cm –

A peaceful summer’s day in the Shire: Bilbo and Gandalf enjoy a pipe of Old Toby – the finest tobacco from the Southfarthing – while laughing together and sharing tales of days long past. This painting captures one of those rare moments in which magic, friendship, and a sense of timelessness gently come together.

Set before Bag End, the scene invites the viewer to pause and breathe. It reflects the warm-hearted calm of the Shire, which endures despite all the adventures yet to come. Lush greens, summer blossoms, and heartfelt laughter convey a feeling of comfort, safety, and gentle nostalgia.


An original artwork for admirers of Tolkien’s world who cherish its quiet, human moments just as much as its great heroic tales.
