Elizabeth and Georgianna

This was an extra sketch for the custom request a while ago.  I have been looking at it for some time wondering if I should erase it and use the paper for something else, but I liked it too much, even though I did not pick the subject here, so I decided to go ahead and paint it.  My favorite part of the painting? The little tea cakes on the tiered plate :)

Jane Eyre

This miniature watercolor depicts Jane moments before she meets Mr. Rochester. She is sitting beside the lane to Hay and he is about to round the bend of the road and fall off his horse. She is wearing her black mantle and bonnet on this cold and fateful winter evening. 

Mr.Knightley

This is Mr.Knightley of Jane Austen's Emma.  My favorite Austen hero.

He reminds me of my husband, that must be why I like him :)

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.
