Description
Happy 126th Birthday Professor John Ronald Ruel Tolkien!God blessed the world on this very day over one hundred years ago, you are an inspiration to so many, and brought about a whole new genre of fantasy, combining God's earth, with Myths and Legend, Catholicism and faeries, Life and History.
God's gift of talent to you has given joy and a short escape from the terrors of this world for decades and may it do so for centuries to come.
May the loving God give you a holy place in heaven with your wife Edith, where you may be amounts hobbits and green fields forever.
To the Professor!
This is my first coffee painting, sorry if the writing I shall misspelled, messy or wonky, I didn't really think I was going to make it such a large project.
Also my apologies that this is a day or two—depending on where you are in theworld—late, something unforeseen came upon us last night and I could not manage to finish it in time.

You painted this with COFFEE? Amazing! 
How did you do it?
And you're a tea person, right? It must have been a little hard working with that horrid substance known as coffee

Thank you'd ommuch!
My Mother got me some cheap instant coffee to paint with, I simply wet it and used it as you would watercolour. On Bristol board.
Precicely, it was, oh what pain! XD But if it must be, then this should be its prime use. (I do not wholly despise coffee, but tea is by far supreme and dominant over all, and coffee doesn't agree with me anyway lol, I have it rarely, and do not understand some people's obsession with it over tea...most extraordinary. Haha)

Ahhh, no problem! And yes, tea is most certainly supreme and dominant.

I should probably show this to my father. He really likes Tolkien.

Well since your screen name is “Old-Folklore”, I am sure that he would love your stuff if he knew about this site.
You wouldn’t happen to be familiar with the Dark Mountain Project, would you?

Haha. Thank you very much. 
No, I have not, sounds intriguing, what is it?

I don't know much, but it seems to be one of those sustainability movements, crossed with folklore. Basically the kind of thing Tolkien would've been into.
