On our first full day of our Portugal Art Trek, we hit the ground running by visiting the fairy tale town of Sintra filled with exotic gardens, palaces and castles. First stop was La Quinta de Regaleira, decorated in an ornate facade and surrounded by enchanting gardens filled with gothic turrets, carved gargoyles and hidden tunnels. We chose this view grand view of the gardens with one of the palaces in the backgrounds and began capturing our first painting of the trip. It was a truly magical setting!
