Orodruin (1980)

[wallace_trust]

This painting was done around 1980 and it is called "Orodruin." Of the two hobbits, I believe Sam is on the left, but in this painting I had them looking almost identical. I've always thought that, as they faced the challenge of the Mountain, they looked a bit reluctant!

If anyone can figure out what I wrote in this Tolkienian alphabet, please let me know...  I have forgotten  ^_^
