"Babette" was here!

We leave our mark on the Horta seawall. This is our third "oil painting" of the trip. The first one was in Bayona in Portugal, the second in Porto Santo, Madeira. This is the real one. The one every sailor staying at this popular pit-stop has to leave behind. Or risk a dire fate at sea. We find a little space for our round, "roped in" picture on the old wall. Pico in the background. I paint a bright, warm yellow ground. Then "Babette", with her red stripe and billowing white sails. Norway, 2006.

We were here!
