Marilisa
Perdi a conta as vezes que desenhei a minha amiga Marilisa. Acho mesmo que qualquer dia tenho de pagar "royalties" de tanto abuso de imagem, mas por agora tenho-o feito sem custos. Mas nunca tínhamos feito um duelo. Fizemos o primeiro no passado Sábado, quando almoçávamos em Tomar onde iríamos participar do Encontro das jornadas do Património. Eu desenhei-a assim rosadinha, apesar do copo de vinho ser meu, e ela desenhou-me com menos 25 anos, parecia um garoteco. Que pena ela não ter querido partilhar o desenho dela...
Ah, os olhos azuis são mesmo assim.
I cannot remember how many times I drew my friend Marilisa. I really think any day I have to pay "royalties" from her image abuse, but for now I have it done at no cost. But we had never done a duel. We did the first last Saturday, when we were having lunch in Tomar where we would participate in the meeting of the Heritage journey. I draw her it so ruddy, despite the glass of wine was mine, and she drew me with less 25 years, I seemed a young boy. Too bad she did not share the drawing that she did ...
By the way, the blues eyes are real.

Aniversários
No dia 29 de Setembro o meu filho Manel fez 8 anos.
Tem sido um bom rapazeco, e mereceu receber de presente uma bicicleta, que pelo tamanho das rodas vai servir-lhe até aos 12 anos. Nesse mesmo dia contei-lhe que tive a minha primeira bicicleta com 9 anos, quando ele já vai na terceira. E quando tive essa primeira bicicleta, era a repartir pelos meus dois irmãos, e não me lembro de nos termos queixado. Era uma pasteleira muito pesada, dobrava ao meio para caber no porta-bagagens e tinha um banquinho atrás que dava para dar boleia a alguém mais levezinho.
Neste mesmo dia 29 de Setembro, e todos os anos desde há treze anos atrás, que festejo também o meu aniversário de casamento. Não tirei fotos neste dia, mas fiz dois desenhos e ofereci dois presentes, fiquei com a sensação de que ambos ficaram contentes.
O segundo desenho desse dia não deveria ser publicado aqui, até porque o prometi ao meu filho, envergonhado que estava por ter apenas umas cuecas vestidas. Mas este blog terá talvez pouca freguesia, e ninguém vai ver um rapazeco de 8 anos de perna à mostra e de cuecas cinzentas clarinhas, e eu de troco nu e calções amarelos.
Bonitos e bonzões, os dois...
On September 29th Manel my son turned 8.
He has been a good boy, and deserved to receive a new bicycle, looking to the wheel size it will fit up to his 12. On that same day I told him that I had my first bike with 9 years, when he is now on his third. And when I had that first bike was to be shared by my brother and sister, and I do not remember we complained. It was a very heavy one, folded in half to fit in the trunk and had a stool behind that led to give a ride to someone else lighter.
On the same day September 29th, and every year since thirteen years ago, I also celebrate my wedding anniversary. I did not take pictures on this day, but I made two drawings and offered two gifts, I got the feeling that both were happy.
The second drawing from that day should not be published here, because I promised my son not to do it, he was embarrassed by having only his panty. But this blog has in these days few attendes, and no one will see that 8 years old boy of leg using some grey panties, and I with my naked chestand and yellow shorts.
Cute and sexy, both of us...

Tomar
Este Sábado fui desenhar para Tomar, uma pequena cidade a norte de Lisboa. Neste mesmo dia, várias cidades do país reuniram urbansketchers para desenhar o património, e de propósito decidir não ficar em Lisboa. Aproveitei a oportunidade para conhecer pela primeira vez este lugar, numa viagem acompanhado pela Rosário, a Marilisa, o Filipe Pinto e o Manuel Tavares. Chegámos antes da hora, eu e a Rosário partilhámos uma morcela de arroz e uma feijoada à portuguesa, por todos bebemos dois jarros de vinho da casa. A chuva fez uma trégua, e após sermos tão bem recebidos pelos arquitectos Pedro Costa e Ricardo Cabrita, e também pela Sandra Costa, entregámo-nos à desafiante tarefa de desenhar o Convento de Cristo.
Eu prometi e vou voltar.
This Saturday I went to Tomar to draw, a small town north of Lisbon. On that same day, cities across the country join urbansketchers to draw heritage, and purposely I decide not to stay in Lisbon. I took the opportunity to visit for the first time this place on a trip accompanied by Rosario, Marilisa, Filipe Pinto and Manuel Tavares. We arrived early, and I shared one rice morcela and a Portuguese feijoada, with Rosário, by all we drank two pitchers of red wine. The rain made a break, and after being so well received by the architects Pedro Costa and Ricardo Cabrita, and also Sandra Costa, we give ourselves the challenging task to draw the Convent of Christ.
I promised and I will return.

Cantar à capela
Durante um almoço de família, o meu tio Benedito canta uma cantiga "à capela"...
During a family lunch, my uncle Benedito sings a song "a cappella"...

Trabalhos de casa
Há coisas que não mudam, passem muitas ou poucas gerações sobre elas. Nestes dois desenhos, o meu filho Manel desespera no último dia de férias, entretido a fazer trabalhos de casa de empreitada...
There are things that don´t change, even if lots of generations cross them. In this two drawings, my despairing son Manel in the last day of vacations, amused doing his home-work in a row...

GULBENKIAN
O encontro 61 dos Urban Sketchers Portugal foi nos jardins da Gulbenkian. Confesso que me atemorizam as árvores e outras verduras, se as tiver que meter no meu caderno. A minha desorientação no momento de colocar cor no desenho atinge assim o seu expoente máximo... preciso treinar mais.
The 61º meeting of Urban Sketchers Portugal was in the gardens of Gulbenkian. I confess that frighten me trees and other vegetables, specially if I need to put them in my sketchbook. My disorientation reaches its peak in the colouring moment... I need to train more.
