This is what home looks like to me, especially in September, when the heather blooms in Lüneburg Heath are coming to an end, and on beautiful, sunny days, the land shines once again in this incredible pink.

I’ve never painted this in all these years. But I love how this turned out and hope you like it too.

 The iconic rain scene from the 2005 film Pride & Prejudice, where Mr. Darcy first proposes to Elizabeth Bennet, was filmed at the Temple of Apollo within Stourhead Gardens in Wiltshire, England. The National Trust property features this classical temple, which overlooks a beautiful lake and serves as a memorable backdrop for the dramatic moment. Mr. Darcy proposes to Elizabeth Bennet, revealing his love and his internal conflict between societal expectations and his feelings for her. The storm symbolizes the tumultuous emotions of the characters and the disruptive, passionate nature of their burgeoning, yet contentious, relationship. The scene's dramatic setting, with heavy rain and sound design, amplifies the raw intensity of their interaction, forcing them to confront their pride and prejudice in a charged environment.

The iconic cliffs featured in the 2005 film Pride & Prejudice are located at Stanage Edge in the Peak District National Park, Derbyshire, England. This impressive gritstone edge is where Keira Knightley’s Elizabeth Bennet stands, gazing out at the landscape and reflecting on her feelings for Mr. Darcy in one of the film’s most memorable scenes.

My journey with Jane Austen's scenarios goes on during this year of celebrating Jane Austen's 250th birthday. In quite possibly the most romantic scene of all time, Mr Darcy (Matthew Mcfadyen) confesses his love to Elizabeth Bennett (Kiera Knightley) while the sun rise up on a misty morning in the film "Pride and Prejudice".

I wasn't satisfied with the original painting on the encaustic board, so I tried washing off the pigment. Unfortunately, that only worked very poorly. I then primed the board again with Qor Aquarelle Ground. That worked even worse, and it resulted in a lot of vertical lines. However, as I thought about this motif, I realized the lines would fit the subject well.

Hier bei uns in der Lüneburger Heide gibt es viele Seen, oft im Wald versteckt. Ich habe immer die kleinen bunten Wochenendhäuschen geliebt, die an ihnen liegen. Sie wirken, als seien nicht von unserer Welt.

There are many lakes here in the Lüneburg Heath, often hidden in the forest. I've always loved the small, colorful weekend cottages beside these lakes. They seem enchanted as if they're from outside our world.

du gabst mir meer

ich gab dir meine träume

du brachtest mich an den rand der welt

und darüber hinaus ich schaffte uns neue räume 

wo nur unsere liebe es ist die zählt

kein sturm keine flut können uns trennen

meerisch verbunden durch brandung gestählt

fest ineinander verschlungen doch frei

eins im dem wissen wir haben uns gewählt

 It was a short Iceland trip years ago, but it was during wintertime and full of life-long memories. I was so lucky that our golden-circle bus tour stopped near a small church so that I could take some photos of the iconic Icelandic horses grazing in the distance.
