I went to Lisbon primarily to spend time with my daughter, who moved to Germany last February, and who now is living in Barcelona. We had planned a rendez-vous in Lisbon a while ago, so rendez-vous there we did.
I don't have as many sketches, therefore, from this trip as I normally do. Here are three and more will follow.
My daughter has caught the sketching bug. Here she is sketching in the garden of the Museu Nacional de Arte Antigua our last afternoon together.
By the way, how do you like my new banner and the blog's new look? I like them! I think the greens of the first sketch look pretty swell with the reds and blacks of the header image---complementarity works!
What lovely comments, you all! Thanks so much. Sandra, I always love seeing you here... well, Linda, Lucy, Sue, ALL of you, I love seeing you all!

Your new banner is very swish!
Glad you had a lovely time with your daughter, the sketches are great. I like the fuzzy palm tree trunk behind the fountain.

I've enjoyed catching up with your blog after my holiday, especially these Lisbon sketches and the the moon ones.
Hope you are still having a fab time with your daughter.

Laura, beautiful drawings, with your signature light touch, so perfect for the airy fountain and water. I love the drawing of your daughter, too, and the new banner looks terrific, with the large-scale detail playing against the smaller images below. The hand-written title adds a lot to it too.

Oops! I seem to have missed some posts! I think it's because no thumb nail appears on my side bar because you are with typepad and not blogger, so occassionally I don't notice a new one pop up! I LOVE the new look banner, and I LOVE the latest works too. I didn't know your daughter sketches too. I would love to see what she was sketching! I wonder if she would let you post it :0)
