Coastline, Balcary Bay, Dumfries and Galloway

Goodness Marjorie. I don’t like heights and this makes me feel quite wobbly, which must mean it’s rather good! 🤭 Also I do like anything to do with coast, sea, etc..

You’ve really captured the feeling of height here Marjorie. The addition of the bird just finishes it off.

That's a long way down. Lovely work.

Love the viewpoint and how you've painted this

Lovely view and oil painting of your view 😍

Talk about dizzy! I hope someone was holding you if you took a reference photo. It is very dangerous to stand so close to the cliff edge! Down in the South West we are always hearing about new parts of the coast falling off into the sea. I like your treatment of the sea though.

I will run my finger around the water.....it's lovely.

It didn’t seem dangerous at the time…what was I thinking!😳

Fabulous! Brings on my vertigo Marjorie!

Yes - I’m feeling a touch of vertigo!

You certainly make me feel like I'm standing at the top of this cliff looking down with some trepidation Marjorie. Well done.

This is a wonderful painting Marjorie. The angle from which you’ve painted it is unusual but gives a great view of the rocks and the rolling waves. Great work.

Super perspective and love those edges and marks

Wonderful feeling of height.

Marvellous! (But you wouldn't catch me standing there!!!)

A difficult angle to paint I would think Marjorie…..I would find it so lol. It does give you that feeling of peering in to the deep abyss.

Love the light on the rocks Marjorie. Glad you had a great time, it shows.

You’ve really captured the treacherous coastline, Marjorie.

Oil on textured ground. This started off as a pastel, was literally “ dusted off” yesterday and I’ve had a great time slapping on the oil.
