A VISIT TO BRASIL

These paintings represent a response to a ten day trip to Paraty in Brazil in June 2006.

The colours, brightness and heat were different and exciting. An environmental change stimulates interesting changes in how the paintings evolve. It is interesting to compare these paintings with the ones I did in Cill Rialaig in Kerry three months later, where the weather and colours influence a different mood and introspection.
