About This Listing
This is an archival fine art print featuring an original illustration of Frodo & Sam completed by Bryana Joy in 2024 using gouache on 100% cotton paper affixed to a basswood panel. The print measures 8x10 inches, including a half-inch white border, and is signed and labelled with pencil in the bottom margin. It is printed on Moab’s 290 gsm Entrada Bright paper. Each print is accompanied by a printed and stamped artist statement telling the story of the painting and documenting the specifications of the print. All prints are archival and unframed. 

Bryana Says
"I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things, Sam," Frodo famously says in the third book of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings as the two hobbits survey the apocalyptic collapse of Sauron's stronghold in Mordor. But it is not the end. Frodo & Sam (spoilers!) will beat the odds with a little help from some giant eagles, make it to Aragorn's coronation, & ride jauntily home to the Shire to plant Galadriel's mallorn tree. For a good many things, it is only the beginning. 

When I decided nearly a year ago to paint Frodo & Sam in a way that would celebrate their special friendship, I wanted to position them in the context of another, more final ending: "Here at last, dear friends, on the shores of the Sea, comes the end of our fellowship in Middle-Earth," Gandalf will announce later on at The Grey Havens as Frodo is preparing to leave Middle Earth for good & Sam is desolated by the impending parting.

This was an ending I did not want. When I first read the books at the age of fourteen, I read & reread this part wanting & wanting a different ending. I did not want Sam to go home to Rosie Cotton who surely could never share in the kind of understanding his experiences had shaped in him. I did not want this snapping of the ties that were for me the most compelling part of the whole story. Fourteen-year-old me was devastated by this ending & sad about it for days. It was a conclusion that really did feel like the end of all things.

“When I’m married,” I thought as a teenager, “I’ll like this ending better. I’ll understand how marriage can be a magic connection that trumps everything else. But I’ve been married a while now & my husband & I both agree that the legendary animal magnetism between the sexes is a far flimsier foundation for happiness than the easy but strong bonds of authentic friendship & equality. When we watch the movies, we hug each other at the parts about Frodo & Sam, not the parts about the less-thoroughly developed characters of Arwen and Rosie Cotton. 

Tucked away in Appendix B, I find this not quite satisfactory but still significant comfort: “...the tradition,” Tolkien tells us, “is handed down by Elanor that Samwise passed the Towers & went to the Grey Havens, & passed over the Sea, last of the Ring-bearers.”

Pineapple and papaya
Color: A - Magic Mint (Pack of 3), Color: A - Magic Mint (Pack of 3)
I like it okay. I will use all of it but I am unsure if I will buy it again. It foams very little. I feel like I use more than I do with other pastes/gels. My mouth feels clean without having that too minty/medicinal taste from traditional flouride pastes. It comes out of the tube easy and sticks to my brush. I didn’t know until after I purchased it that there is papaya and pineapple extracts. There IS a photo in the product description that says this and I neglected to click through them all. I have two members in my household that are allergic to those ingredients so I have not had them try it. The only taste is a mild mint though. I think the whitening effects of nanohydroxyapatite pastes is much better than other popular brands that boast “whitening.” My teeth simply look whiter and shiny.

And alternative to floride toothpaste.
Color: A - Magic Mint (Pack of 1)
I've been using this alternative toothpaste for a couple months now. It's expensive compared to regular toothpaste, but some suggest that it's healthier for your teeth. Nano hydroxyapatite is supposedly the same molecule that our teeth are made of. So perhaps it may be better for hardening teeth than fluoride. Of course, I can tell if it is doing that or not. Do your own research. It's a bit more fluid than standard paste, so it sits more flat on the toothbrush. I've discovered that if it dribbles from your mouth onto your shirt, it leaves a white stain on the fabric! So don't use it while wearing your good work shirt. The taste is more mild than the usual minty toothpaste. Not bad at all. At my next dental exam we'll see if it's cleaning my teeth effectively.

I love this toothpaste
Color: A - Magic Mint (Pack of 2)
I love this toothpaste, this is my second time buying this and it cleans very well and the whitening does really work I’ve had many complements on how clean my teeth look and how white they are. The packaging is nice, the ingredients are simple and the texture is very smooth and doesn’t foam too much . Definitely recommend getting
