Rua Senador Vergueiro
Saturday, November 30, 2013
Sometimes we travel far away in search of inspiration when if we look around us we find more than we are looking for. I've been in love with this corner for a long time, it is on my way to the studio. This day the morning light was screaming and I had to paint it!

Rio de Janeiro, Downtown
I love the activity that takes place downtown before the offices and stores open. This was a quick one:

Outeiro da Glória

Nestled on a hill surrounded by a luxurious vegetation, this church calls the attention of the passersby. I've chosen to depict it, this time, bathed by the warm morning light.

Painting at Theatro Municipal
Wednesday, May 15, 2013
Leaving the studio for plein air painting can be quite an adventure. It takes a lot of exercise on some special skills that have nothing to do with painting. Besides coping with atmospheric conditions we learn to keep focused despite passers by, who sometimes insist on giving unwanted opinions, ask for information or simply feel at ease to stop and talk to you.

I love watching people downtown milling around...
This is an old Catholic Church dedicated to Saint Francis, it is beautiful outside and inside as well.
It is located at Rio´s historic center .
