Óbidos, Portugal - View From The Wall


White washed walls + red-tiled roofs + sunny day = fun to paint.

This Portuguese medieval village of Óbidos has been around "since forever", as the local brochure states.

Óbidos, Portugal - The Colonnade

Óbidos is a quaint village in Portugal dating back to the 1100's.  It is entirely encircled by the walls of a 12th century castle and within those walls is enough subject matter for a lifetime of painting.  Here's one of many paintings I've done there.
