What to make of this?


OK...thought you would like this one. There I was wandering through the countryside in sunny Portugal looking for things to draw when I came across this. Is it a warning to stay clear? Is it a fertility sign proclaiming that the sheep and goats on this farm are the best in the area? Is it something to do with Portugese voodoo? Fertility superstition?

Well, I kept walking and no-one fired arrows or blow pipe darts or set dogs on me so I'm lucky not to have been spotted, attacked by randy goats or ranted at by the farmer. Guess we will never know. It's the only one of its type I saw.

Wee boat painting

Sorting through a pile of paintings the other day I found this wee boat.
There is so much in here that it makes me wonder about having a studio sale.

SAGRES

This is a large giclee print I've been working on taken from a photograph of a beer can found on a dusty lane in Portugal. The finished image is 35 inches high on a sheet of paper some 50 inches high so it looks spectacular in its frame.
