Sunflowers on my way
Tuesday, November 29, 2016

We never know what we can find on the sidewalks, mango trees, almond tree, orchids and so many other trees and bushes defying the stone pavement, lending much more beauty to the Wonderful City. 
This morning I found this sunflower bed on my way. I could not lose the opportunity of capturing such a feast for the eyes!

Victoria Regia
Friday, August 26, 2016

This is one of the soft pastels plein air paintings I have done in preparation for a large dimension commission in oils. Standing by the pond at the Botanic Garden, observing the movement of the waterlilies opening and eventually closing before I could finish the paintings was a good challenge.

Still rainy and bad weather conditions for plein air painting, so I´ve decided to play with my pastels and bring a bit of color to this unusual Springtime!
