Emma, improving herself.

This watercolor shows Emma, in one of her attempts to improve herself by reading. You see her deep in thought about an upcoming ball or Harriet's next love interest, the book forgotten :)

Anne in the Octagon room miniature.

Anne is standing in front of the fire in the Octagon room, right before she meets Captain Wentworth.  I looked up the interior of the real Ocatagon Room, and though it has probably changed a bit since Jane Austen times I thought it would be fun to include it in my painting.
