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.

This time I've chosen a not-so-famous scene from Pride and Prejudice 2005, more rural and summery. Nevertheless, my personal party celebrating Jane Austen's 250th birthday continues.

Sometimes we lost inspiration and motivation for painting, because of life's hick-ups. I'm sure all of us know exactly what I mean. To come back into the right mood to enjoy creating art, I know nothing better than the gorgeous loose style of Jean Haines. She's so generous that she offers some great free online tutorials at her art school and this painting is inspired by the last one. A fantastic lesson to paint Delphiniums.
