Desk Redo

An old desk with a facelifting - just some paper and it looks much better now!

Bottle gift

I made it in less than 30 minutes, as a "last minute gift" to a hostess.

Our little girl

She was a sweet little 2-year-old-girl with Down Syndrom. She was slow to learn talking and walking, but very good at communicating what she wanted and to notice the right moment for a funny face. Do not ever think these kids are not smart! We saw by ourselves how smart and sweet and also persistent she was, as long as it was interesting for her. Just like any other kid. Better than anyone, she knew her limits, and we did not know that. 

As many of the kids with Down Syndrom, she had a Heart Disease, which made her vulnerable to other problems, and her fragile health also contributed to make the things more difficult for her. She had then, a pulmonary arterial hypertension, and it was too much for her little body. 

After two years and eight months of fun, stress, laughs and tears, she passed away on July 3rd, 2010. She will always be our little girl and we miss her a lot.

Finally finished - Trabalho terminado

Not long ago, I finished my first big painting  and I grabbed a lot of courage to put it on the living room.The family gave a big support and said it was good.

For those who are not familiar with the region of the Lake of Como in Italy, it may seems surreal, but the lake is really blue when it is getting dark and also because of the air humidity.

 Há pouco terminei o meu primeiro quadro grande e com muita coragem coloquei na parede da sala.

A família deu muito apoio dizendo que ficou bom.

Para quem nao conhece a paisagem pessoalmente pode pensar que essa imagem seria surrealista, mas se trata de uma pintura de natureza nas cores reais, o Lago de Como tem muita humidade no ar e faz com que o ceu e as montanhas tenham essa cor azulada. E o tom escuro é por causa do por do sol. Já era quase noite.
