Socially Distanced Beach Walks

Empty beaches are even more desirable in these strange times. This painting is inspired by the vast open beaches of the west coast of Portugal.

Amado Beach Walk Carrapateira

I painted this from a photograph I took while on a visit to this beautiful beach in late May 2020. The beach was practically empty, as you can see. The figure in the distance is my husband.

Algarve Coast

I am spoilt for choice when looking for scenes to paint on the Algarve. In this one the setting sun threw pockets of light on the edges of the cliffs and cast long shadows across the water.

Carvoeiro Beach Summer 2019

This was painted from a photograph I took before the COVID-19 pandemic meant that the beaches were closed. It reflects a happier time when freedom was taken for granted.

Surfer on the West Coast

Benegil Caves

I painted this from a photograph I took from a vantage point high in the open ceiling of the cave. Looking down I didn't notice the swimmer in the waves until I got home, I was so high up and he was tiny.

Crowded Beach on the Algarve

I'm an avid people watcher and often spend my time taking secret photos of the characters I see around me. Crowded beaches always fascinate me as no other time would these people be comfortable with being in a state of undress so close to total strangers.
