Calligraphy

Me?. Ink and watercolour on paper.
As a student od Graphic Design I studied calligraphy. I just loved it. I bought many differents pens, nibs, inks, papers. I was hooked. When my son was born, I used to do some calligraphy work for some universities and a  a theatre critics' association, doing some diplomas. I can say now that sometimes it was the only income, so I was grateful I did my homework.

Now, in doing the new work, my interest for lettering and calligraphy is back. I'm practicing in a daily basis. Hopefully it will pay off. At least in giving me pleasure.

Walking at night


Filemon, my lovely schnauzer, is now a grown dog. We keep on walking, something we both enjoy. But even though I like to do it early in the morning, during  the past months has become a night walk.

At morning I like to hear the birds singing, while everything else is so quite. The rising sun shows a soft light, and the wandering gives a fresh start to the day.

At night...well, we walk. No day light, no birds singing. But, sometimes, you may look at a glorious moon. 

New drawings.


I've been working in a series of drawings in watercolour and inks, using some calligraphy. I´m happy with the results. I'll keep on doing some more, although I'm starting to work in some still lives.
