Middle-Earth Tours

Tour 3: The Artists of Middle-Earth

Honorable Mention
There are many other names I could have included among my group of featured artists, people like Maura Boldi, Paul Monteagle and Alessadra Cimatoribus. Unfortunately, I have only a handful of pictures from some of these artists, while the work of other varies widely in quality. That's why I've decided to set aside a page for "Honorable Mentions," showcasing one or two pictures from some of the best of the rest at Rolozo Tolkien. Enjoy!
