This 26"x40" acrylic was inspired by a poster in a storefront this past summer. I spotted it when having Diet Coke in a sidewalk Cafe in Ponta Delgado (Azores) after traveling for a month in Spain and Portugal. While sketching, decided his eyes had to follow the viewer and the fun began.
Painting is my passion, but travel is what fuels this passion. Portugal was magnificent and gave me the opportunity to research my mother's family ancestry. The art, history, scenery, people and yes, even the food in Portugal were magnificent!
If you get to Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, don't miss the Federico DeFreitas Museum.
He did our DeFraites family proud!
