First Impressions Painting Two Sense and Sensibility

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

This is a first of painting in the "First Impressions" series of paintings I am working on right now.  I plan to have one for each of Jane Austen's works.  On this piece you can see Mr.Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet and the opening line of Pride and Prejudice.

Elizabeth in Kent

This is a painting of Elizabeth Bennet at Kent (Rosings and Collinses) on the morning after Mr.Darcy's proposal. She is taking a walk in the park and is about to be presented with a special letter from Mr.Darcy.

Jane's Letter to Cassandra

This was a custom piece and now it is available as a print.

Barton Cottage

This petite watercolor is of Barton Cottage in Sense and Sensibility, you can see Marianne Dashwood wearing a red cloak going on one of her windy day walks.

Topiaries

I know I am stepping away from my usual bookish art, but I wanted to do something green and springy this week.  So here are my latest topiary pieces.

Catherine Poster take 2

I made another version of Northanger Abbey adventure quote.  But this time I made a mistake and wrote "do" instead of "will".

Upcycled Persuasion box

I found this box at a second hand store and even though it was tiny, it was so cute I had to do something with it. I painted a miniature watercolor of Anne standing on the Cobb in Lyme and decoupaged it onto the top of the box, on the front of the box I painted Captain Wentworth's ship and the inside of the lid is decorated with the words from his letter "You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope."
