I kept a sketchbook on my summer trip to Portugal. Because I was going to the International Urban Sketchers Symposium in Porto, I wanted to have all the sketches in my sketchbook be started on site wherever I was on my trip. However, I let myself finish them up later if need be.

This is a page that I just completed by adding color to a couple of sketches. I love all the tile, but the paving stones were pretty nice too. These are from the ground at the Sintra train station. The flower is probably nerium oleander that was happily in full bloom next to the bus stop in Lisbon I was waiting and drawing at.
