Frodo at the Grey Havens

Frodo, in the darkest hours of my life, you showed me how to find courage when all things seemed hopeless. To go on when surely it would have been easier to give up.

Thanks, Frodo. I dedicate this one to you.

it's been a long time since I've added to my Tolkien gallery, but I've really wanted to paint Frodo in oils, and to honor him as my most beloved hobbit. This scene in the Lord of the Rings movie always leaves me in tears. I sincerely hope you like it.
