Dark purple, sea green, warm gold, sunset pink—autumn’s coastline captured in light and shadow.

Warm stone and tangled hedges frame the hush of this quiet shore. Here, waves don’t rush; they breathe. Salted winds mingle with rosemary as paths edge closer to the cliff’s drop, while the sunset gently folds the day into memory.

This piece embodies the Algarve after summer—still carrying warmth, but moving slower now. Palette knife strokes shape the rugged cliffs, textured greens, and shadows rich like aged wine. Born from the Fisherman’s Trail in Portugal, it recalls cliffs that hold the sea’s memory and a sunset that wraps the day in soft violet hues.

Painted with movement—using a palette knife and layered texture—it captures the sweep of waves and the stubborn greenery clinging to the cliffs. Warm where the sun lingers, shadowed like a fading memory as light slips away. It is a painting of the place between leaving and staying: fierce, quiet, and quietly kept.
