I was looking around via Google maps at the countryside around Haworth, where the Bronte sisters lived, and found this view to paint. I know this is not a unique experience, but I remember discovering Jane Eyre in high school and feeling like it was a literary epiphany. It so nicely resonated with my teen angst. I subsequently began devouring all of the novels by the Bronte sisters (as well as other 19th century British women writers). As I mentioned previously in a post, I did something of a pilgrimage to Haworth back in 1999.
