Ideally, I would have some brilliant story about these three dwarves and why they're cracking open a gate in the roots of a gnarled tree and why the one dwarf has a key and the other dwarf is giving him a "get on with it" look and maybe touching on why the dwarves look like miniature Santas or the exact cause of my favorite dwarf's male pattern baldness.
But I got nothin'. I just wanted to paint tree bark and something with a honkin' big nose and a beard.
The bark is good, but their clothing is truly beautiful.
