This past spring we spent a few weeks as artist in residence at Cortex Frontal in Arraiolos, Portugal.
I spent the time focusing on painting the trees of the Alentejo region, especially the cork trees.
We were also searching out the prehistoric megalithic stone structures that are found all over the Alentejo region. The fields were covered in wildflowers and the birds migrating through the area
filled the air everywhere we went! (www.cortexfrontal.org) (www.pousada.pt)
