Not all those who wander...continued

My previous post and painting were all wrong.  I realized what the problem was.  Once again, I was trying to mimic "popular" styles, which are fine in the process to figure out how to do certain techniques and all.  But it wasn't right.  It looked too industrial and modern for me. So here is my First Try.
I painted over the canvas with sepia and did some distressing techniques.  Using a Hobbit styled font, I hand painted the words.  A couple spots bother me, but I will fix them later.  I will totally redo the bottom.   I may not get to touch it up for a few days.  Plus that may give me some more ideas....

Even though unfinished, I feel more at peace with how it is coming out....

I added some gold leaf paint, but the photo was awful due to lighting, but it looks cool...

My dream Pub

I have this idea or dream.  It is to own my own British pub.  I have been thinking about it for a while, and then due to some comical circumstances, I was walking around Asheville, NC with my good friend Carrie.  Carrie is an incredible singer and she will be famous soon because of her musical songwriting and her commercials.  Yeah, she does commercials and modeling :)    ANYWAY, she mentioned that she wanted to open a pub and I said "me too!"  Of course!
I want a Tolkienish inspired pub and call it the "Prancing Pony".   It will be a place where people can come and talk philosophy, theology, .... whatever floats your boat.  Discussions and arguments will be welcome!
Requirements:
1.  Excellent beer... a variety of good IPA, Ale and Stout.  Right now I am partial to Harpoon and Ranger.
2.  No screens, well actually maybe a back room where people can go, if they must to watch a game.
3.  Its going to be dim... candlelit.
4.  I dont care if its against the law.... an area for cigar and pipe smoking is necessary!
5.  A really cool latte machine for those who dont partake in the liquid of the Norse gods!  Earl Grey tea too.
6.  Think of a hobbit hole... that is what it will look like.  With cool art!


So any thoughts... do you think there is a chance there is a market for such a thing?
of course burgers and cheesy stuff will be served too!
