Everything looks small in a little square in a small town ... The houses, the street, the businesses that still resist, even the people. In fact, everything just happens there a little more on our own scale, and maybe that's why the little squares of small towns, as well as other similar "littlenesses", can bring that comfortable feeling of wellbeing. Maybe actually they're not so small, it's the times we're living that stole from us the sense of proportions.
Tudo parece pequeno num pequeno largo numa pequena vila... As casas, a rua, os negócios que vão resistindo, até as gentes. Na realidade, tudo se passa um pouco mais à nossa própria escala, e talvez seja por isso que os pequenos largos das pequenas vilas, assim como outras “pequenezas” do mesmo género, nos transmitam essa confortável sensação de acolhimento. Talvez no fundo não sejam assim tão pequenos, os tempos que vivemos é que nos roubaram o sentido das proporções.

And they all have their own character as well, whereas town centres are all becoming the same.
You're very right, Keith.
I agree... This scene is wonderful, Paulo. Your details and sense of space are incredible.
Thank you, Rob: These small squares are so filled with small details and character that it's a pleasure to paint them :))
