I painted these watercolors for my good friend Jonny Videira. He loves downtown Easton since the times his dad contributed for its renovation through several construction projects downtown.
We visited Folgosinho Castle on the slopes of Estrela Mountain in Portugal last September. It has been rehabilitated into its former glory There is now a clock in the tower, but I chose to imagine a window on the tower like I am sure it used to be a long time ago.

Visitá-mos o Castelo de Folgosinho, na encosta da Serra da Estrela em Setembro passado. O castelo foi restaurado e há hoje um relógio na torre, mas eu quis imaginar uma janela defensiva como penso que devia ter sido há muitos anos.
One of my 12x16” watercolors at the Connexions Gallery Spring Show was sold, so I painted another one to fill the spot left empty. This shows the Bayou Restaurant in Centre Square, Easton Pennsylvania.

Knowing that I have a weakness for painting barns, my friend Robert Ross sent me photos of these beauties on Old Mine Road on the New Jersey side of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. So, here we are.
