I knew this would be my last painting on this trip to Ireland. I wanted to make it a good one with the weather promising to be so good. I think I spent too much time driving around to find the prerfect site. As I drove into Dunmore East I settled on the site of their swimming beach. I had painted this before in September 2010. I set up on the rocks next to the rough surf. The scene was back lit with a bright slice of yellow sky. I'm not happy with what's happening with the houses or color swatches on the shore but I'm really happy with the surf.
