Today I am back in the Lionpalace
(for me another kind of holiday chalet)
and I paint for this week's drawing challenge a Azulejo
with a pair of azur-winged magpie [Cyanotic cyanus] on it
(pretty, cheeky birds which reminds me on my nearly 14 years-old twins...)
- please go to her place for more!
Have a nice day!

Hello beautiful Ariane! These photos take me away. I can smell the trees (kind of musty for some reason in my imagination) and feel the spray mist across my face and walk in the sand and cement sidewalks of the town. Then I cannot but help to grab a paintbrush to capture some of it. Oh so glorious is this feeling that your post has given to me. Thanks! *smiling* Norma, x
AntwortenLöschenp.s. I still have a little something for you that I haven't mailed yet. Will you email me your snail mail at the Lionpalace?
p.p.s. The feet on your magpies are marvelous as they clutch the oak branch.
Mmmmmm early spring sunshine and warmth.....
AntwortenLöschenThanks for the postcard. Wish I was there.
Happy days to you at Lionpalace with your cheeky twins, Arian! xo
This looks like a gorgeous place to be and enjoy and relax and to paint. Blue and white are delicious. So fun to get your post card. It is pouring rain here and snow is melting, entirely different from your photos.
AntwortenLöschenThank you for taking me away!

You lucky, lucky woman, beautiful pictures of a lovely place to be! The birds in those blue colours reminds me of Delfs Blauw.
AntwortenLöschenThat must be the epitome of the loveliest of all spring breaks! Wonderful to the max Ariane. I hope those birds always remind you of this lovely time. (PS, I didn't know you had twins. You lucky girl. Love getting to know more about you.) X
AntwortenLöschenactually, I was kind of hoping for these images. portraying your time in Portugal. they are so lovely, that light and the blues. the drawing tops it. thank you for letting me dream about such nice portuguese spring break. xo
