Art treasures from Luis Filipe Gomes in Portugal.

On the envelope, Luis makes a statement for recycling glass...and inside a drawing emphasises the reycycling theme:

Then come some wonderful surprises! Luis Filipe Gomes includes two amazing engravings and two protest drawings/paintings. I am in awe at the art work, in love with the artistic expression. And so thrilled to have received such beauties. Thank you, Luis!

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on August 4, 2011 at 9:03am: I agree, Lesley...Luis has a most Picasso-style expression. They are real gems!

Copper plate engravings, they seem to be.

Comment by Lesley Magwood Fraser on August 4, 2011 at 8:47am: Ooo these etchings are marvelous! Reminiscent of Picasso I think....

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on August 4, 2011 at 7:57am: The two protest paintings by Luis are reminders of the June protests in-the-squares of Athens, too.

It is fitting that Luis writes that the police man is human: alone and scared, too.

And the protesting youth...done in mixed media and dynamic!
