I was drawn to this primarily for the design that I wanted to install.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lori says that she likes the warmer palette paintings better but I loved installing the design on this painting. It has a full underpainting in burnt sienna, something that I should do more often.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did not bring the underpainting oil that I prefer to use but this worked very well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Incidentally there is no black in this painting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is also a study in achieving a focal point.</div>

This painting is relatively high key. Which makes this a break from the painting before and the one after it.</div>

Cobblestones or pavers are very common for sidewalks everywhere and streets [rua] in the residential and smaller roads. They are sometimes great and easy to walk on and sometimes very rough and noisy for cars.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are sandstone, granite is also very common everywhere.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Streets in Brasil are usually clean. Those owning the street front property will clean the area each morning and trash is promptly picked up and removed.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Os Pinheiros is a river in southern coastal Brasil. It might look somewhat like this with lush vegetation. Or rather it should look like this, unfortunately it is a polluted, smelly remnant without attractive peaceful areas anywhere near Sao Paulo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It means The Pine Trees although pines are a minority species around Sao Paulo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I am painting in Brasil I am using Canva-Paper made by Canson. This is 136 weight acid-free paper which has a somewhat canvas textured surface.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It actually works better than I expected.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I clip it to the masonite surface when I am working and keep it there until it is dry. [you can see one clip on the right side] I plan to glue any paintings that I like to wood panels later.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm using a modified table easel with good brushes and poor inside light, so I use the afternoon light and need to stop painting at about 5:30</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With all that I'm enjoying the times that I can find to paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The red clay soil is everywhere here and with rocks out of the same. The climate grows shrubbery, trees, weeds and lush plants everywhere that it is allowed to do so</div>

<br />Lori, who is in charge of my activities, decreed that I was to make another painting attempt with Elizabeth and Jeff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is also our favorite daughter-in-law.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We took some photographs while we were there this summer for reference. However I wanted a painting without the teeth showing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well forget that, Elizabeth is always smiling, so anything else did not look correct</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took a lot of liberty with the clothes- making more of a Christmas holiday attire in this painting</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have not posted any paintings for a season. I have been too busy to want to take the time,</div>

It could probably use some more cool accents in the shadows, but they look pretty close to what I desired in the actual painting.</div>
