ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty São Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal acrylic paint on canvas 16" x 20" (40.6 cm x 50.8 cm) 201904040 © copyright Mike Kraus For more information, please visit: Her family is from São Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal. A green volcanic island with a lot of exotic plants and marine life. After a recent visit, she decided she wanted to commemorate her family's village of Lombinha da Maia with a painting. The Azores are the land of happy cows. Unlike many cows, they are able to graze year-round in the very temperate climate. And their joyful exclusively grass-based diet makes the best cheese. A rainbow of Hydrangea flowers thrive on the islands taking over much of the landscape. After many consultations back and forth, the piece is completed. The vision of the sketch comes alive. The island memories are recalled. And I'm very fortunate to be a small part of her family's Azores journey.
