Capela de Santo António

Lately focusing on a specific parish near my birthplace in Portugal, and there are good reasons for that.

Ultimamente explorando a freguesia de Parada na Beira Alta e há boas razões para isso.

My First Still Life

My first still life ever. I put a lot of planning on this, and everything has a meaning. Although I am seriously biased, I am happy with the result.

A minha primeira “natureza morta”. Houve muito planeamento neste trabalho, tudo tem um significado. Ainda que a minha opinião seja suspeita e tendenciosa, eu fiquei contente com o resultado.

I have to prepare to do my first still life painting ever. This is not my thing and it’s going to be unchartered territory, but I know it is going to include a jar of cilantro, so this is my first study. It’s a start.

Em preparação para a minha primeira pintura de natureza morta. Não tenho experiência nisso, e isto vai ser terra incógnita, mas sei que vai incluir um jarro de coentros, então este é o primeiro estudo. Vamos ver o que sai daqui.
