Today I finally hung my watercolors of Portugal. (The show was delayed twice because of snowstorms.) Here is one of the watercolors in the show. On my first visit to Portugal, I visited Bom Jesus near Braga, and took a picture that inspired this painting. There is an enormous series of staircases at Bom Jesus and they lead to a beautiful garden at the top (inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy, I think.) One of the first things you see at the top is this building, currently a visitors center. I loved the columns, the patterns of the windows, and the bougainvillea spilling down from overhead.
