He may not always approve of the actions of the masters and he will say so if he is not happy but he will remain loyal even when he does not agree and he expects his son to do likewise. Gaffer Gamgee believes that the relationship between master and servant is part of the natural order of things. Sam’s father, the Gaffer, worried greatly about where learning to read and write would take his son but of one thing he would have approved and that is that Sam stays faithfully by his master through thick and thin. Later in the journey he will say this to Sam: “Frodo wouldn’t have got far without Sam.” And he is right. Frodo himself agrees with this assessment. Many argue that Sam is the true hero of the Quest of the Ring and that Frodo could never have reached Mount Doom without him. Next week we will think about how Frodo carries Sam to Mordor but this week we will begin by thinking of how Sam carries Frodo. The gift of lembas that will sustain them on many weary marches is given because the lady of the wood did not hide from the travellers but opened her home and heart to them.įrodo and Sam could not take a step towards Mordor and the accomplishment of their task without this communion and in the weeks ahead we will be reminded of many that they cannot see as they stumble the weary miles that lie now before them.
The elven rope by which they descend to the lowlands and which returns to them when Sam calls it is the fruit of long years of craftsmanship placed at their service at a moment of need. They are in communion with so many others living and departed and without that communion they would not be able take a step further upon their journey. They cannot even descend from its heights into the marshlands below that lie between them and the northern walls of Mordor. As we begin this journey Frodo and Sam are hopelessly alone in the Emyn Muil. They need to be carried there and in the postings on this blog over the next few weeks we will see who carries them and how. It is even too great for them to achieve together. The task of getting there is too great for either of them to achieve alone. We will have to wait and see if more of these works will come to light.Frodo and Sam are carried to Mordor. One surmises, this would be quite a daunting task for him considering his recently surfaced difficulties even signing his prints. Where the remaining 272 are, is not known at this time privately sold, stored or even still waiting to be “hand embellished” by Dylan. Of course, rightly so, the price will be steep that is if you are able to locate one available. On a good note, it appears that each is almost an original painting. Now we can clearly see that the painting done on most of these prints go far beyond an embellishment. It is evident that all of these images also can be identified by the ‘small ear’ on the upper left corner as this does not appear on any other works from the Train Tracks series-excepting the formerly mentioned one from 2008. The first image is the Orange print from the 2008 Train Tracks portofolio of 4, which seems to be the “starting point”. Certainly very few of them have that characteristic. Studying these 55 images of the works attached, the following conclusions were drawn. Now a grand total of 55 photos, finally compiled after a grand search. Located from different sources and gathered here are almost all of the Side Tracks, which were photographed and posted on the web. In each version, he uses the same coloured reproduction as his starting point, but the colour and texture vary depending on the brushstrokes, with each image a more nuanced version of the last.”

CFA says in their PDF “Produced exclusively for Halcyon Gallery, Sidetracks is a running series of 327 unique prints, each hand embellished by Dylan. So much for the differing view point, let us have a look at the Series.
The Castle Fine Art PDF also has the following description “Each print in the series has been dated and named by location, evoking a specific time and place on Dylan’s continuous journey” I don’t really associate them with any particular time or place or state of mind, but view them as part of a long arc a continuing of the way we go forth in the world and the way our perceptions are shaped and altered by life.” -Bob Dylan. “Seeing many of my works years after I completed them is a fascinating experience.
This somehow does not quite agree how Dylan feels about his work. Each carries an individual date, city and country, based on concerts performed by Dylan from 1961-2013.” Each one is hand embellished by the artist and is therefore unique. The auction of “Side Tracks,, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (2013)”, sold £32K, had the following footnote “Side Tracks is based on Dylan’s most famous image, Train Tracks.
