A private moment

Summary:

After signing up for the Year of Banners event at the Acorns and Oakenshield server (@acorn-and-oakleaves on tumblr) and studying the prompts post BOTFA, dragon Bilbo, Butterflies, and Storm, where I could choose one, or all, I briefly considered and just as quickly discarded drawing Thorin post BOTFA with a pet Bilbo dragon riding through a butterfly storm. When reading the second chapter of Kathleen_ThePigeonOne's beautiful post-BOTFA story "Steps Untaken" I knew I wanted to draw something inspired by Bilbo and Thorin and a private moment in their garden. This is it!

Notes:

Bilbo reads "And Quiet Flows The Don" (which I haven't read but did inherit from my grandmother, and photobashed into the drawing because I wanted a book there but didn't want to draw it).
Big thank you to Acorns and Oakenshield server for arranging the event, to SunnyRose for encouragement, and to Kathleen_ThePigeonOne for writing and sharing their story!
