Moving forward
I hope this note finds you well and enjoying the dog days of summer.
Half way through August and the time is flying by.
Last month I got my residency permit, and last week I got my Utente,
which is to say that I'm now registered in the health care system. I'm
required to maintain private health care insurance, but I can also use
the free system now as well.
Making a living here is proving to be more challenging than I thought
but my quality of life is so good overall, I really can't complain. I
have added a Patron bar to my website, prints are available anytime
from my website and I'm still accepting commissions also. Thank you to
my collectors past and future for allowing me to continue this amazing
journey, I am blessed.
I continue to be amazed by the volume of rewarding discoveries and
experiences I'm having here. More on that in a future newsletter, but
first here's a new painting I just finished of the Vermillion Cliffs
near Lee's Ferry after a rain when the desert was still damp.

On a more personal note, and at the risk of oversharing... I am
currently dating the most wonderful woman. Her name is Leila, she is
from Brazil but has been living in Portugal for the last 4 years. We
are both into fitness and she has inspired me to be even more focused
in the Gym. In addition I continue to do weekly rides with my
Portuguese cycling group (Monday we did over 100km) I was never the
hulk but I'm in pretty good shape for 58 I think. I feel good, we can't
stop the clock but we can slow it down a little and live our best life.
Leila looks more fit than I do, she's an inspiration, but I'm keeping
those photos for myself :)

A reminder that my US phone number is no more. I now have a Portuguese
number. If you had my US phone number, send me an email and I'll give
you my new one. We can chat and talk using Whatsapp for free, once you
update my number in your contacts.
Alternatively you can always reach out to me on Facebook, though I
don't check in every day. I'm also in a different time zone now, so
just be patient and I'll respond in a day or two.
My email remains the same, and/or you can use the contact page on my
website here.
As always you can keep up with my new work AND order prints on my
website, link at the bottom of this page.
That's all for now, hope you're having a great summer!
Cheers ~ Cody
