New apartment

It is only mid-November but, thanks to the wickedness of Christmas prmotions, I already feel that the year is ending. This is the first picture from my new apartment. The new apartment is not far from the old, but has a somewhat different atmosphere- more urban, cleaner, brighter. The picture is a continuation of the simple still lives to which I return from time to time. 

This colourless style serves to cleanse my mind. I did once consider doing a trip and only using black and white, but ultimately desisted, concluding that a month of it would become quite tiresome.

The disturbance and expense caused by moving means I have yet to finalise plans and book tickets for my January trip, something I hope to put in order this week.

UDESC Exhibition

Letter from UDESC

The letter announces that I will be exhibiting at UDESC, the state university of Santa Catarina. The university will give me 2500R$ towards the exhibition, which will run from March 3 until 4 April, 2020.

 I will show pictures from Santa Catarina. I might drive down to Imbituba to stay there one night so I can do some work there. It should be good for painting. I can exhibit about a dozen paintings if they of the larger size.
