Artist's Comments

Sophia Williams, who is eventually Sophie Aubrey :D

The second installment in my Aubrey-Maturin portrait series! For some reason the drawings are really small... I can't quite figure it out, but that's just the way it's happening.

I enjoy the contrast between the drawing of her and the one of her husband... wow. Oh well, she's in England, not spending her life on a ship, so she's bound to be pale. And be wearing a light-colored gown, because it's the Napoleonic era. Which I know, I'm generalizing, but it sort of makes an excuse.

I'm about to give up on my scanner.... sorry about the poor quality in general of these pictures. I assure you they look better in reality.

I confess to never having made it through the dense language of O'Brian's series, but I watched the film made of it the other day and noticed for the first time that Aubrey was writing a woman named Sophie, who in those times for a respectable sea captain could only have been his wife. Lovely take on Mrs. Lucky Jack ;)

Yay! I've somehow managed to see that movie three times in the past few months... I have to say the books are much better though, if you don't mind the need for a nautical dictionary through the entire first one! I understand.. I almost gave up in there too (to'garns'ls? Prodigious transformation by a trysail mast? What is this madness? ;) ) There really are much better plot lines than constantly chasing the French and/or Spanish... half of Post Captain takes place during peacetime and is often very Jane Austen-like (definitely my favorite so far :D).

I'm just a Regency addict...
