Paint Party Friday - Over the Cliffs

It's time for Paint Party Friday, thanks to Kristin and Eva for always hosting for more than 5 years now! This piece is entitled 'Over the Cliffs' done in acrylic and watercolour crayon. It is a greeting card (3 1/2" x 5").  I've shown you both the photo and the scanned version.

Erika asked me what inspired me to make such a piece. I was watching a cooking show called 'Mind of a Chef' featuring Magnus Nilsson in the Faroe Islands (halfway between Norway and Iceland). I saw these wonderful cliff scenes and it inspired me to make my own cliff scene!

I didn't realise the Paint Party Friday tradition had been going on that long. That's an excellent picture to contribute to it too.

I did look at a lot of references as I always do, then try to make it my own!

Hi Christine. I like the way the cliff on the back upper left has the "base" that supports the top. It gives a feeling of depth. And over-all, it makes me smile!

Don't get to close to the edge! Reminds me of Ireland, lovely!
