It's funny how much this piece turned from illustrating a feeling while listening to an audiobook to illustrating everything *I* feel whenever I'm in Cornwall. It's done this painting a world of good, too. 

"And his heart was filled with longing", watercolours on Bockingford Torchon paper, 21x31 cm. 

The paper let me down at the very last instant, ripping when I peeled off the masking tape! It's clearly not meant for either masking fluid or tape. I managed to salvage the gulls under their masking fluid, but really just barely. Why does every paper have to have one major letdown? *grumble* 

Prints are in my shop - here's your coupon code! The link takes you straight to the shop with the discount already applied.

Gorgeous, Jenny. Methinks this one sneaked up on you and stole your heart.

What? Four years already?? Eru Almighty, that's unbelievable! When I think that I discovered your art due to a youtube discussion on who is the best Elven fighter in ME .... haha. :D And now? My walls and shelves are adorned with so many of your prints. I can't imagine not having your superb art and witty posts in my life anymore. And all the things you've shared with us here - good and bad. I think I become a bit sentimental. ^.^

I was just going to say that I was wrong and it was only three years - but you show up as my "Patron since 2015", so I suppose I wasn't! =O

There is so much joy in this painting! All of my favorite shades of green are in it. It's so beautiful! Jenny, you are doing MAGIC. *-*

Aw, man! I thought to myself, because of sea-longing, I was gonna go for a print of this...but I haven't looked at your print prices in a while and even with the discount it's a bit out of my budget right now! Sad! Maybe another time :) I need to be less broke so I can support more of my favorite artists more XD

I actually just decided that it looks better printed smaller, so it's now an A4 print at 10€ less than before. The paper structure didn't look good when printed at larger than the art is :)

Lovely colour - and it really does look like Cornwall! 4 years already? And, in this time of getting unending amounts of irrelevant ‘newsletters’ and the like on e-mail - the Patreon updates are always a welcome sight in the inbox :)

It's gorgeous.

And suddenly I find myself looking at flights to England...

I know I already commented on this on Wordpress, but it bears repeating that I really love the young and scruffy look of your Tuor. And just from looking at the landscape, I feel transported to a wonderful holiday by the sea!
