A  little story about this painting: This piece was painted at a shepherds presence because he refused to leave (true, I didn't ask specifically…) He came over, interested to see what I'm doing and stayed until I was finished! He liked the painting :) This was in Parque Natural do Vale do Guadiana in Portugal.
 
This painting is part of a small, 6-painting release, inspired by my travels to Portugal and Spain. All of them are painted on the spot, plein air, energized by the waves, winds and sunshine. I painted them very loosely, deliberately letting go of all expectations and just allowing the nature guide the colors and my brush strokes. These paintings are a teaching of slowing down, forgoing the planning, and letting the uncertainty guide me to new and absolutely breathtaking places that I would have never seen.  A collection of learnings that I will proudly carry on in my art and adventures alike ;)
