October on the Algarve coast feels like summer forgot to leave.
We drove the stretch between Lagos and Carvoeiro in 2024. The kind of road trip where you stop more than you drive. That coastline does something to you. The light comes off the water differently there. Warmer. More insistent.
I went out on a boat to the Benagil Caves. Worth every minute of the journey. The caves are the kind of thing you don’t believe until you’re standing inside them.
The boat, though. Barely any swell. Flat water. I nearly lost my lunch anyway.
Masty III I painted from land. Watching it move through that light was enough. Sometimes the better view is from the shore.
Oil on canvas. One of a kind.
