 These owe something to the indiginous art of the Pacific Northwest, as well as Art Noveau and 1950's graphic art.

 Urubici: looking up a street, 9am, oil on card, 12 / 14 cm   AVAILABLE

Landscape overlooking Urubici, oil on card, 13 /13 cm - unavailable

 

 

Street, Urubici, oil on card, 13.3 / 9.5 cm - available through No 31 Gallery

 Five from Urubici, with wristwatch for scale.

I spent a day or so painting in Urubici, a place I love, and which seems happily free of Florianopolis's trashy Barbie culture.

The curvaciousness of the landscape invites Art Noveau designs.
