horseriding on ballykinlar beach

I don't like advertising Ballykinlar beach. It's one of my favourite spots and it's rare to see anyone else on it, and I want it to stay that way. This painting has the snow-tipped Mourne Mountains, which Donard's famous shape sweeping down to the sea. I'm happy with the effect of the horses' legs disappearing in the surf, and also with the seaweed strewn beach. This painting was done fast and furiously in little over two hours, and most of that was drying time.
