Roman Bridge Outside of Ferreirós do Dão, Portugal, 2017 acrylic on canvas 16" x 20" (40.6 cm x 50.8 cm) 201707073 © copyright Mike Kraus For more information, please visit: Her dad was from Ferreirós do Dão, one of the oldest villages in Portugal at 1,080 years old. It's history is as solid as the Ponte Romana bridge crossing the Rio Dão. Her dad grew up in the shadow of the bridge creating some of his fondest memories along its banks. Recollections he'd later share with his daughter. So, thinking of her dad on Father's Day, she started looking up pictures of the village of Ferreirós do Dão on the internet. While scanning the random images, she came across a small painting and said, "Hey-that's my village..." Immediately, she contacted me to purchase the piece, which had unfortunately been sold a few years earlier. That disappointment quickly turned into a wonderful opportunity when she discovered I could offer to do a custom commission piece. While she liked my original piece, she was excited to be able to have a much large version to fit into her amazing antique frame. And since she visits the village every other year, I'd be able to use her photographs to adjust the colors and tailor specific details to her memories. Reflections of her father and his village in Portugal that she can be reminded of every time she see's this special piece in her southern Californian home.
