London III - Food

Another thing i was eager to do, was to try certain British foods... or just eating them right there. Not all i've tried there, since i'm a pure addicted to japanese food, and also some of the photos are beers!

London... at last

Been waiting for quite a long time to go to England. Started with London and hopefully i'll be able to go further north, up to Manchester, on day. Never the less i'm pretty satisfied with the visit. Being accustomed to Paris, and knowing Rio de Janeiro, i've found a completely different atmosphere, persons, smells, customs though i already add great expectations.

Here's some photos..

My Art Collection III

Not exactly a new addition, more like a new framing. The work is from Pontes, the second one i  post here from him. The first one was a landscape drawing from Porto, and this one's a photograph... speaking of that, sorry about the poor shot i took, glass!

 A few weeks ago i received a gift from Monsieur enVide, one of is Pocketart pieces. You can follow and learn more at his http://Pocketart.yzonk.com. The cool thing it's the use of QR code so that who ever as contact with the piece, can through a smartphone app access the webpage containing more info about it.

Another Arts & Crafts...

Back in the summer, my family and i went on a countryside walk, and visited the old/abandoned farm were my father was born. Though he stayed there for just a few years (4 i think), there's always some kind of memories e feelings toward it.
There was a bunch of antic roof tiles, so i brought one in order to preserve a little memory...

Hummmm... another original piece!

A few days ago i received a nice gift in the mail. Haven't even thanked you, Monsieur enVide... thanks.
I'm trying to replace my works scattered trough the house with some of my personnel collection, trying to frame them also, and that as made me work with a bit of arts & crafts. This was part of a twenty something years old frame.



Portrait - Mrs. Luisa da Mata



Oil and golden leaf on canvas
60x70cm
2013


Its been a while since i worked on a full oil portrait. Tried a little bit at the beginning, not quite knowing where to go, but decided to work once again with golden leaf in the background. Since i'd the chance, i record the different stages of the work, just so i can remember experiences, and parts of the painting process/progress, well... nothing new here.

Sacred Skull Tattoo

Hello... welcome to 2013, and my 2nd late post of the year.

So, as some of you who have tattoos may know, it becomes an addiction... I've done my first after 5/6 years planing it, the second one after 5 years, and its been just over half a year since I've got it... and immediately wanted more. After some sketches, these ones are at the moment the most close I've been of nailing them... yet, I'll keep sketching a little more, just to have certain of the finishing picture.



P.S.: I'm aiming for my left ribs.
