Monday started out sunny, but clouded by early afternoon. This was my first, painted right down on Coumeenoole Strand, Slea Head. Hard to beat morning shadows on a beach.

I then moved a little further North towards Dunquin and got drawn towards this scene on the way down to the pier. No ferry's to the Great Blasket Island that day as the sea was too rough.

For my final one of the day, by which time it had gotten cloudy, I drove a couple of miles further North and found this spot just a couple of yards down from the Blasket Interpretive Centre.

I'll post some more tomorrow, when I get around to photographing them.
These are photos of the three scenes above:-

Having spent some time staying in a cottage at Dunquin, these are a tonic for the soul. Your Kerry roots show in the love that these exude. Can't wait to see the rest.
I had a feeling you might like these, Mick! And you're right too about how I feel about that special place - pleasant memories of childhood days spent admiring the sheer power and beauty of the ocean.
