 The whole world is celebrating Jane Austen's 250th Birthday, and so I do. I decided to paint a series about her wonderful stories, which I have enjoyed in several film versions. This second painting, a scene with Marianne Dashwood sitting at the seaside from the film "Sense and Sensibility" is inspired by Blanca Álvarez Sanchez lovely tutorial on Patreon. 

Painting wet-in-wet is very challenging for me at any time, and I struggle with this technique repeatedly.

“I’d like to be under the sea in an
octopus’s garden in the shade.”

The calm and relaxing atmosphere of aquariums always fascinated me. Standing there and finding peace, watching this unique other world is something I never tire of.

“Ah, summer – that long-anticipated stretch of lazy, lingering days, free of responsibility and rife with possibility. It’s a time to hunt for insects, master handstands, practice swimming strokes, conquer trees, explore nooks and crannies, and make new friends.”

Cooking during holidays with local food is a great delight for me. And grilled shrimps are always a good idea, aren’t they?

So a quick sketch while they bath in olive oil, garlic and lemon slices, with a hint of chili. 🌶️

your eyes, a sea of endless blue

reflect the depths of skies anew

a gentle breeze, a whispered sigh

as memories dance and quickly fly

the waves of thoughts, they softly crash

against the shores of where you dash

with every glance, a hidden shore

where secrets lie and I explore

the sea in your eyes

your longing for more

let me be your coastline

your safest harbour 

at the roughest shore

 Taurus, the second sign of the zodiac, is represented by the bull, an earth sign ruled by Venus. People born under this sign are known for their strong, reliable, and stable nature. The astrological symbol of Taurus reflects their characteristics, strength, determination, and a grounded personality. Those born between April 20 and May 20 fall under the Taurus zodiac sign. And so am I.
