Boats at Cadiz

Acrylics

We camped near Cadiz last October and took our bikes on the ferry from Puerta de Santa Maria.  We cycled round the city stopping to visit the cathedral various museums and landmarks.  I took a photo of little boats in a bay.  The sun was reflecting on the waves lapping around the boats.  I have tried to capture this in my painting, which cheered me up during the lock-down period.
