Recently enjoyed things

1 - Getting back to our city walks after months of rain. They were missed. So many new things to explore...

2 - Celebrating a special day with a very special chocolate cake :-) in the best possible company.

3 - Recently developing a 'tiles-addiction' lead me to create a new board (here) dedicated solely to this portuguese art.

4 - Enjoying sunny breaks reading/sketching on the grass with J and friends (I sort of got this 'holiday feeling' for a tiny moment...)

A beautiful mural in a new place in town

A new restaurant opened in Chiado and J was commissioned to paint a mural there. Its simply beautiful. A lot of work but an awesome result!

 

Be sure to check it out [here] and to try the vegetarian burger (its deliciiiious).

Sketchbook Stories @ home

J regained his habit of drawing a bit everyday, even if he has very little free time during the week. When he arrives home sometimes in the evenings sketching and decaf are his way of relaxing.
Check out all the other beautiful drawings in his blog, just click HERE!

Beautiful drawings from the UrbanSketchers in Benfica

The project was to draw different 'iconic' places of this neighborhood so the UrbanSketchers were divided in groups of two and off they went with their sketchbooks. The drawings were gathered and turned into a beautiful book (available for sale in all major bookshops). I am bias so I took pictures of my favorite artist's sketchbook!
