I love Portugal, the Islands and the Algarve. In fact, I bought a beautiful cork necklace when I was there last summer. Were you on vacation when you created this or do you live there?
My husband's family is from Sao Miguel. Anyway, about your artwork. I love your use of color and all of the quick broad strokes you use to create shadows and light and texture.
Foreshortening is very well handled. The car looks like it's about to drive right off the page to us.

Very interesting notes that go along with this wonderful visual. I like how you've captured the scene with the colours and textures. Cars are not easy to draw and you did this one justice. Thank you for sharing. Hope you enjoyed your day.

The application in your strokes and the fluidity of your forms work together very well. The piece retains a fine sense of spontaneity. Thanks for sharing!

This is a great piece of art. The trees are really cool. I love the colors of the vegetation. The sky is a great color. The car is a nice added touch. There is great dimension in this piece. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Glena Jessee-King


In this style this is nice, very interesting and tells a story. Some of the art could have more work (especially the trees) but all and in all it is enjoyable as is your dialogue.
