"Aquistas", Exibition in the Azores

J was invited to do a solo exibition in Academia das Artes of S. Miguel, Azores. The drawings were shown in a beautiful setting: and old church in the center of town. They were amazing.

Urban Sketching and tea at Muchaxo

After hours sketching on the streets I picked up J and drove to Muchaxo, a place I love. When I was little, I would go there with my grandmother for tea and cakes! The place hasn't changed much since then. Even the smell of old fireplace mixed with sea water is the same.

Remebering the summer holidays...

Seems like an eternity has gone by since we returned from Ria Formosa, 15 days ago. Miss the warm sand, the orange sunsets and the smell of the green vegetation.
