"My courage always rises with every attempt to intimidate me." ~ Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
I have so many favorite quotes from Pride and Prejudice, but this is one of my ultimate favorites. If you can't tell, it's hidden in the background of this painting (look closely). I love Lizzy's strong nature and ability to speak the truth, even if she gets it wrong sometimes.
Hope you have a courage-full weekend!
Loving your painted collage Catherine and loving the quote in the background. Beautiful artwork.

DeleteGreat idea to put the quote in the backgound, lovely work
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sandra. The words in the background happened a bit accidentally. I was trying to tone down the color of the letters and then liked the hidden effect and just tweaked it a little.
DeleteA modern version to be sure!! The energy of the quote is there even if it's in the background!
ReplyDeleteLove her!
