Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen


Pride and Prejudice is a novel by Jane Austen. It was first published in 1813.Pride and Prejudice has consistently been Jane Austen's most popular novel. It is one of my favorite. Pride and Prejudice is a sharp humorous and telling of mannerism played out in early 19th Century English society. It portrays life in the genteel rural society of the day. The title Pride and Prejudice refers (among other things) to the ways in which Elizabeth and Darcy first view each other. This classic tells of the initial misunderstandings (and mutual enlightenment) between the two through deceit, misunderstanding and the weaving of other relationships throughout the story.

He is My Rose of Sharon

This was inspired by the idea of Christ as the Rose Of Sharon his sweetness, The Cross, his thorny crown and the Holy Spirit descending like a dove. I was also reading the Song of Solomon 2. That is a very passionate book. I have posted it to ebay this week. Rose of Sharon the plant is Hibiscus syriacus. It isn't a rose, but its large, flat blossoms and nectar attract hummingbirds and tiny insects that hummers also eat

My newest painting for the week of June 14 ebay Listing

Here is one my French Shabby Cottage Roses Palette Knife 8"X 10" with a little Palette knife technique. I like a little texture in my paintings. I like to feel the painting. My nana became blind when I was about 8 years old. She had to rebuild her life. She used her hands to see our faces as we grew up. I like that everyone can see the roses.
