This painting I did in 2010, when I was visiting Monte Carlo the first time. I stayed a little bit outside the center in Cap D'Ail, on the border to France. It was the perfect working-holiday. During the day I could relax while in the morning and in the evening when it was less hot and the light was smoother I could go out and paint. The landscape there is just fascinating, the sea is blue and powerful and surrounded by steep cliffs and mountains, the air is clear and the colors pure. And yes, the light really is amazing there! South of France is famous for it and I never quite believed it until I got there. It is overwhelming... Exploring the area I discovered a small path going along the coast, where I could paint quietly. Such a delight, listening to the sound of the waves rolling in and smelling the fresh sea air while painting!
