Longtime readers may remember I bought an original watercolour of Eleanor some years ago. I’ve just come across a comission the same artist has completed of her husband Edward I!
I do like it – just wish it wasn’t modelled on the Braveheart image of him. Obviously it was a comission though. I hope that Mark manages to do his own version!
Whilst I’m on the subject of art, and was on Mark Satchwill’s site it reminded me he also recently completed a gorgeous picture of Elizabeth and Darcy from the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice.
This leads me to the final piece of news today…a great Austen site, which recently wrote about the recycling of Regency costumes. Check it out for yourselves…
