This sketche was made last saturday when I went with a group in a tour from the National Cultural Center to Alpiarça a little village north Lisbon. We went to see, among other things the Casa dos Patudos - full of paintings and furniture and other interesting things.
On the bus I tried to catch an old man that all the day long had attracted me for his vitality, serenity and the way he faced life. It was difficult to draw since the bus is not a quiet place for the hand and I didn't want him, or someone else, to see what I was doing.

Helena, figuras como a que você retratou vivem a me chamar atenção. Mas eu só posso tentar capturar delas uma essência escrita, já que não sou boa nos traços e nas cores. Belo desenho, Helena. Abraço!
Helena, very nice drawing. I especially like the posture of the man - yoou captured something of his personality there.
Helena, he does look remarkably like the man I posted yesterday! Funny. Don't worry so much about the people nearby seeing you. No one has ever objected to one of my sketches. Most of the time people on a bus are preoccupied with their own lives to notice anyway.
Helena -- This is very sensitively drawn and observed. I agree with Belinda that you have captured something of this man in your sketch.
helena, cada vez a admiro mais. Acho fabuloso o retrato!!
Com ou sem trepidação, é uma imagem tão autêntica!
É um instantâneo que perdurará.
Tem uma expressão magnífica!
Gostei do esboço.
Bom sentido de observação e traço.
You've captured his serene and powerful face. Love the other travel pix too.
