Art?

[Beanz]

This is the work of a local artist, Seth Garland his parents were responsible for most of the Lord of the Rings artwork in the 60s and 70s editions of the books. The picture below was one of his earlier works painted at 19 and we have a print in our living room, he has this to say about it

Diminished Seconds was exhibited at The Mall Galleries, London. Where in 1998 it won second prize in 'The Society of Art of the Imagination' open competition.
'I painted it when I was 19 years old and it reflects the panic of reaching the end of my teenage years. My younger sister Amy features twice in the painting. One dressed in contemporary clothing and the other timeless. Time motifs run throughout the painting, from the dandelion clock seed head in the top corner to the architectural mixture of red brick and Ancient Greece.'
