cardo-marítimo

the flower that grows where nothing else will.

A translucent watercolour of Comporta's dune landscape - a sandy path winding between tall grasses toward a solitary stone pine and the sea beyond. In the foreground, a cluster of sea thistle (Eryngium maritimum) in silvery blue, the wild botanical icon of the Alentejo coast. The paper breathes through every wash. Warm, open, unhurried.

The most accessible of the Comporta watercolours,  a piece that anyone who has walked to the beach through the dunes will recognise instantly. The sea thistle is Comporta's botanical signature, as distinctive as the almond blossom is to the Algarve. For bedrooms, living rooms, reading corners, or any space where the art should feel like a window onto the coast. Fine art paper in slim natural oak frame with linen mat.
