Hello there! My name is Justin Falkenstein, and welcome to Brushes of Middle-Earth!
The idea for Brushes of Middle-Earth was born from blending two of my passions; Tolkien’s legendary world of Middle-Earth and Van Gogh’s unforgettable impressionist style, into an artistic movement never before seen.
At first, these pieces were created for the thrill and enjoyment of seeing Middle-Earth through the eyes of one of my favorite artists. It was a personal creative journey, and a way to celebrate both the magic of Tolkien’s storytelling and the brilliance of Van Gogh’s artistry.
What started as a hobby soon grew beyond what I could have imagined. People from all over the world began appreciating my work, sharing kind words, and asking for their own pieces that they could add to their collections.
Thanks to that overwhelming support, Brushes of Middle-Earth has been created so fans and art lovers alike can bring these paintings into their homes to enjoy.
Each painting is a labor of love, crafted with the same sense of wonder that first inspired me to begin painting. My hope is that every piece brings joy, imagination, and a touch of Middle-Earth’s magic into your world.
Thank you for being here, and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I do!
