West Coast Cliffs

.
I am starting to explore the local geography a bit more abstractly. Until now I had been working from photos of Italy from the air. I realised the other day that the land we have here – the green fields, the clear skies, the towering beachfront cliffs – is all unique and I should be celebrating it. So..

Here’s the start of a new series which alludes to, but does not replicate, the landscape I see around me each day. Lots of texture, layers, rubbing back and general mark making; all good fun.
