This watercolour painting of the Portuguese town of Obidos was recreated from a taken photograph.
In 2010, I took a nice road trip in western Portugal and visited this beautiful town.
The medieval and colourful fortified town of Obidos is located high on a hill in the Costa de Prata (Silver Coast) region.

The small picturesque white houses are traditionally painted with blue and yellow borders. Red tiled roofs and balconies with many colourful flowers and climbing plants complete the colourful scene.
