To Whom Do You Belong?

When in the height of youthful prime,
And candour gently reigned,
Then feared you not the march of Time,
Possession you disdained.

How fulsome in existence chaste
Were you content to dwell;
And life's pursuits in restless haste
Cast not their ugly spell.

Content without the irksome hand
Of one who gathers flowers.
Content in peaceful shades to stand
Whilst claims were made in bowers.

Then came those hands, clear to discern
Above the heady throng.
How came you for those hands to yearn?
To whom do you belong?

Why sigh you now, with faded mien,
For hands which care you not?
Regretting thus to be unseen,
Regretting now your lot

Elinor and Marianneby *Himmapaan

Traditional Art / Paintings / Illustration / Storybook

Illustration, not 'fan art'. If I sound like a stuck record, it is with good reason.

How does one get from dinosaurs to Austen (with many stops en route) in one journey? Via *Himmapaan, apparently. It isn't as incongruous a journey as you think.

Illustration of Elinor and Marianne (Marianne is the dark one) for the Bath Bicentenary edition of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, to be published by Palazzo Editions this autumn.

Watercolour with gouache highlights on Fabriano Artistico cold pressed (the old kind which is no longer in production, bah).

It isn't available yet, but I received my advance copy today. Amazon seems to have it available for pre-order (although please note that the description there about the number of illustrations is incorrect. There are thirty-one illustrations in total; eleven in colour and twenty silhouettes; not seventy-five (!)). As you see, the art director felt it appropriate to flip the image mirror-wise for the cover (and for the frontispiece too).

I love Sense & Sensibility! You should do a drawing of Col. Brandon and Marianne, looking lovingly into each other's eyes, with Willoughby watching hollowly.

err... just a suggestion.

But you definitely should! I love their story the most, mostly because Col. Brandon is the epitome of the romantic hero, him and John Thornton of North & South, but anyway, yeah, lost my train of thought.

You should do that drawing! For fun.
