 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 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. The third painting, a scene with Elinor Dashwood and Edward Ferrars from the film „Sense and Sensibility“

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.
