That Girl With A Camera

Monday Tuesday Thursday Friday Saturday Basically a week full of paintings and not so full of pictures!  Have a great sunday. XOXO, M

Today I saw the first exhibition in 25 years of a very important portuguese artist: José de Almada Negreiros. For those who studied even just a little of Portugal's 20th century history, this is a familiar name. He was not only a painter but he also made drawings, cartoons, story boards, movie posters, stained glass, ceramics, coreographed ballets... He even worked for Paramount Pictures. He was part of a group of artists that defined the new aesthetic for the portuguese art scene in the 20th century. Although a wonderfully curated exhibition, the best moment to me was seeing in real life a painting called "Maternity". I had only seen it in my History books. And there it was. The characteristic voluptuous woman, the massive feet and the oh so delicate facial features of both the mother and child... there's no photo I can take that makes this painting justice, so just go ahead and see it. One more ✔ on the bucket list! Museu Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisbon. F...

Well, I hope you're not tired yet of seeing the photos of London. These are from our last day, when we decided to take a walk in Notting Hill, visit the Sherlock Holmes Museum and.... Notting Hill We were so lucky to have such great weather. It made the area even more charming. The houses, the shops and their signs...it was all so welcoming and nice! Baker Street/ The Sherlock Holmes Museum To be fair, we didn't visit the museum. We delighted ourselves inside the shop and saved a few pounds!! Pensive poise: who did it better? What's life without dear friends? :) The Sky Garden This one is a must-go!! A rooftop garden with an amazing view of town? (Provided the weather is kind enough to let you enjoy it) It's something you can do for free in a city where most attractions as overly priced, so do take advantage of this. Head over to the website and book what time you want to go (limited places per slot). ...
