Portugal Art Trek: 
Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop led by Niki Gulley and Scott Williams

Day 4 - Evening Boat Ride


After returning from Obidos, we treated ourselves to a relaxing boat cruise along Cascais' rocky shoreline and surrounding cities. Mother nature didn't disappoint and we were able to enjoy a gorgeous sunset as we sipped on some local Portuguese wines!

Above you'll see my interpretation of the coastline. I wanted this painting to be about the power of the ocean to lift your spirits. I also wanted to capture the gorgeous rock formations and the beautiful colors in the ocean. Whenever I visit the coastline I always feel rejuvenated, and I hope I’ve translated that onto the canvas for you to experience it, too.
