"Geodha an Fhuarain - Cliff, Rocks & Sea" pastel 11" x 16"
Fun to do. A lot of scribbling but somehow it seems to work. A lot of the color comes from the base paper, which is most visible in lower left corner. The original photo (credit below) is one of hundreds of irrestistible images by credited photographer. MORE interesting is geograph.org - photographers take part by committing to photograph items in a "square" of a topographical map (I think it's one square mile), and post it with any extra info they can provide. More than one photographer might do this for same "square". Anne's posts are particularly fascinating since she digs up amazing background detail. She does this in Scotland, which is wild, wet and full of strange rock formations (she's geologically very knowledgable too) and, of course, loads of history.
Enjoy!
