A few more Grande Praia scenes

 


Praia means beach., grande means large...so this beachside city is called Large Beach. Being so close to São Paulo makes it a prime weekend getaway location. These flowers were growing on a tree in the sidewalk, they looked delicate like rose petals. Since it was raining I stood under a ledge to cpmplete this one.

I had  to find a Brazilian dumpster to paint...this one was on the way to the beach in front of a new house being built. It was much smaller than Montreal dumpsters because the trucks and roads are smaller.

With steady drizzle I painted fast, its a food cart on the beach in among palm trees. More than just a food cart, its a mobile restaurant run by a local family. They even set up umbrellas and beach chairs. The french fries were excellent and the coconut water was fresh out of a coconut...like they bring you the coconut with a hole in the top and a straw.

Finally some sunny weather on the last day and I did a painting of pigeons on the beach and bright blue Haviana flip flops.
