Here at Sagres, Portugal, I was standing on the beach next to the fort which was above and behind me. I liked the way this headland stretched out into the bay but decided for this painting, to focus on the just the tip. A collapsed section had created this darker shadow which I found exciting against the sunlit areas of the almost sheer rock faces. On the extreme tip, two fisherman dropped long lines down into the sea and a few gull patrolled just offshore. Since this bay is secluded, the wave action was mild compared to the one on the other side of the fort which was very popular with surfers, even in winter. Size is 8 x 10, oil on board.
