Stourhead House and Garden in Wiltshire transforms into a living Jane Austen canvas during autumn, famous as the dramatic backdrop for Mr. Darcy’s rain-soaked proposal in the 2005 film adaptation of Pride & Prejudice. Golden foliage, misty lake reflections, and classical 18th-century architecture make it a top literary autumn destination.

One of my very first memories of my grandfather was his gorgeous small vineyard. He was so happy to work with the grapes.

My personal tribute to Yayoi Kusama was inspired by two wonderful befriended artists @utesturm_ with her sweet polka-dot cat and the awesome @jeanhaines with her funny hedgehog tutorial 🦔
I’m very thankful for the internet with its fantastic possibilities for connecting artists around the 🌎

The Red Star Reinette (known in German as the Rote Sternrenette and in French as Reinette Rouge Étoilée) is a traditional, heritage apple variety over 200 years old, prized for its deep red skin and distinctive star-shaped lenticels. I love the taste and color of this apple so much 🍎, and I am very happy to have one in my garden.


This loose sketch was inspired by @xtina_gavrilova_art 🥳
