Back to Paradise Island. The turquoise color water under a bright afternoon light was inviting my brushes!

Worldwide Paint Out - Rio de Janeiro 2016
Monday, September 19, 2016

I arrived early at the meeting point as I knew that later, with the artists arriving it would be very difficult to concentrate on my painting. Corcovado Hill was playing hide and seek with the clouds barely revealing its contours. The artists started to come and little by little the sun made its way through the clouds mirrowing the movement of the artists down here.

That was the moment I wanted to register on my canvas...

Urca- Sunday Morning oil on canvas - 30 x 60 cm Sandra Nunes

I´ve been coordinating this venue in Rio for 12 years, this time I was positively impressed, as we had 75 artists coming from Rio and other cities, some of them traveling more than 500 km to participate. They came from São Paulo, Piracicaba, Paraty etc... We had a great time painting together!
