'The gentleman offered his services, and perceiving that her modesty declined what her situation rendered necessary, took her up in his arms without farther delay, and carried her down the hill'
Willoughby and Marianne. Illustration for the Bath Bicentenary edition of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, published by Palazzo Editions, 2011.
Watercolour with touches of gouache on Fabriano Artistico cold pressed watercolour paper (the old kind which is no longer in production, hmph).

There is still time to book tickets if you can make it to the book launch! _______________

I MUST FAVORITE THIS!!!!! If you EVER do another Sense and Sensibility with Elinore or Colonel Brandon..........I will pay whatever to get your prints!!! OR even the originals!!! (Vision a bull charging at your skill and talent.) Altough I am a big fan of your other styles of art, this just happens to be one of my favorite book/movie of all time, just like Anne of Green Gable and other period European literatures.
Do you mean another edition of the book? You can of course purchase this edition if you'd care to. ^_^ There are a number of illustrations in it (I uploaded a few here in the appropriate gallery folder). Though not such clear views of the Colonel as perhaps you might like.
