Friday, May 24, 2019
I am starting another painting trip today and I realized that I didn´t finish my posts abut Plein Air Curaçao here,
I will try something new in order to give some life to my so neglected blog!
Hopefully you'll be able to follow my photo Album.

Koi Nishikigoi Pond
Wednesday, March 29, 2017
Watching a school of fish gliding through the water is soothing. They are a silent and relaxing song.
I had the happy surprise to stumble upon these little colourful jewels and I simply had to paint them!

Spring is here- Sunflowers

Sunflowers
It is quite understandable Van Gogh's passion for sunflowers, this is a beautiful flower when it blooms , lives beautifully and it can become even more beautiful when dying. Its warm hues turns gray, its leaves twists and turns like a ballet in a circular dance.
I was privileged to live a few days with them and yesterday decided to capture their last minutes of life.

High Summer - Flamboyant in Bloom
Monday, February 9, 2015
Along with the unbearable heat, summer comes exploding in color with the lush blooming of Flamboyants all over the city!
These trees have been calling me to paint for some time now, and soft pastels seemed to be the right choice to make justice to these flowers vibrant colors bathed by the sun.

Marina da Gloria

I´m always intrigued by the light hitting the cobweb formed by the masts, rigs, ropes and their reflex on the water as well.
