A Horse Named Denali
Commissioned paintings are often a little outside of my comfort zone. And that means, I learn a little bit more than usual from the painting experience.

Pinturas feitas por encomenda por vezes levam-me um pouco para fora da minha zona de comforto. Isso quer dizer que aprendo um pouco mais acima do normal com a experiência.

Monsaraz
The medieval town of Monsaraz assaults the senses around every corner. I was privileged to visit last month and I hoarded lots of photographs which I just started to exploit for my painting pursuits.

A vila medieval de Monsaraz assalta os sentidos em cada esquina. Fui previligiado de visitar este Agosto e acumulei montes de fotografias que apenas agora comecei a explorar para outros fins artisticos.

Heyer Mill Road
This being a commissioned house portrait, it took twice as long to complete as it would have taken otherwise. I can’t help it, I always put twice the planning and effort whenever I work on a commission. The result is not necessarily twice as good, but in any event I know I tried my best. ………………….

The Art of Watercolour magazine
Yesterday I received my copy of the French magazine “The Art of Watercolour” (I get the English edition) and I was shocked to see three of my watercolors on its pages. In the Reader’s Competition, "Rio Dão" it was voted #5 in a list of 108 works selected. Another two watercolors of mine were also included, lower in the list. Being a self-taught amateur of watercolor I was shocked and ecstatic at the same time. As my Brazilian wife told me, I got full of hot air. I told her this will pass.

Ontem recebi a minha cópia da revista Francesa “The Art of Watercolour” e fiquei chocado de ver três aguarelas minhas reproduzidas nas suas páginas. Na Competição de Leitores, "Rio Dão" foi votada No. 5 numa lista de 108 trabalhos selecionados. As outras duas aguarelas foram também incluídas, mais baixas na tabela. Sendo eu um amador auto-didata da Aguarela, fiquei chocado e radiante ao mesmo tempo. Como me diz a Fátima, a minha Brasileira esposa, fiquei “cheio de vento”. Eu disse-lhe que isto passa.
