BOM ANO *** HAPPY NEW YEAR
Que seja simples a travessia da ponte e que 2006 vos acolha com o melhor que cada um desejar.

Para todos *** For all of you
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way;
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother's child is going to spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
A very Merry Christmas to you!

Um desenho feito a partir de uma fotografia de St. Cirq Lapopie perto de Cahors. Um local mítico - o primeiro a ter a designação de le plus beau village de France.
A drawing made after a photo of St. Cirq Lapopie near Cahors, France. A mythical place; this had been the first village to have the touristic designation of the most beautifull village of France.

Aceitei o desafio da Karen Winters e escolhi da minha colecção de canecas não a que gosto mais, como ela me tinha sugerido, mas uma que acho caricata e com um lado trocista. Pedindo desculpa por não estar à altura do desafio aqui vai a minha caneca.
Accepting the challenge that Karen Winters put on me I've choosen among my mug's collection one, not my favorite as she had asked me, but one I think it's funny. I apologise for not being up to the standard of the challenge but here is the mug.

Uma incursão à Suiça quando estava no Lago de Lugano mas na parte italiana. Já tinha estado em Lugano - uma cidade sobre o lago e as montanhas - com belíssimas galerias de pintura. Um dia voltei para conhecer o lago na parte suíça. Um passeio de barco com paragem em algumas ilhas. Aqui, em Melide, ficámos perto de 2,5 h o que deu para, embora rapidamente, registar as belezas do lago e dum estupendo dia de sol.
Melide is a little island on the Lake of Lugano. I was in the Italian part of the Lake but some days I went to Switzerland. The town of Lugano is a charming place over the river and full of painting galeries. One day I went on a boat trip to discover the Swiss part of the Lake. We land in some island, one of them Melide where we stay over 2,5h and I profit the occasion to do a rapid sketch of this gorgeous sunshining day.

Aguarelas e aguadas # 6
Uma aguada muito leve contornada com lápis de aguarela feita no alto da encosta da Franca na Ericeira junto às ruínas do Moinho da Forca. Era imprescindível um papel maior pois o formato A6 não me permitiu dar qualquer relevo ao moinho.
A small sketch done with watercolour pencils in a A6 book, I think it should have been done in a larger format so that the ruines of the mill could have been brought into relief. This sketch has been done at Ericeira, a beach near Lisbon, last summer.

Varenna é uma das mais agradáveis terras do Lago de Como - Itália; particularmente o recanto que aqui tentei retratar e que fica na parte menos turística e acessível da terra.
Um esboço com pastel seco feito em 10 minutos.
From my travel sketches book.
Varenna is one of the most pleasant places over the Lake of Como - Italy; paticularly this part of the village the most remote and less touristic one.
A 10 minutes sketche done with soft pastel.

No passado sábado fui dar um passeio com o Centro Nacional de Cultura para a região de Alpiarça - Casa dos Patudos, Reserva Natural dos Cavalos do Sorraia e visita com prova de vinhos a uma adega da região. O esboço abaixo foi feito na camioneta no regresso. Desde o início que aquele senhor me tinha despertado a atenção pela sua idade, pela sua segurança, pelos seus gestos e por uma forma alegre e natural de viver a vida. Foi-me difícil o desenho pois a camioneta tem uma trepidação a que não estou habituada, além disso não queria que ninguém se apercebesse do que estava a fazer.
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.

Das Palavras # 5
O quadrado não é uma forma subconsciente. É a criação da razão intuitiva. É o rosto da nova arte. O quadrado é uma criança viva, magnificente. É o primeiro passo na criação pura na arte. Antes dele, existiram deformidades e cópias ingénuas da natureza.
