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.

Map of Persuasion

On this artistic rendition of a map you can see all the places mentioned in the book - real and fictional. Lyme, Bath, Kellynch, Uppercross, Winthrop, Shropshire. Inside the map I penciled in Captain Wentworth's letter to Anne. There are also miniatures of Anne and Captain Wentworth and a full rigged ship in the lower right corner. To add to the nautical feel of the painting I added a compass on the top along with swirls of evergreens for eternal constancy and tiny forget-me-not flowers. Of course I am no cartographer and if you are a person good with maps, or living in Britain you will probably laugh. But I thought it would make a fun Persuasion keepsake :)

Reading in the Garden

This is how I imagine Catherine on a sunny day at home, stealing away to the garden to read a book.

Among the Hills

This was a custom painting that didn't turn out just the the way it was supposed to, so it's still available.
