Cliffs of Moher - commission/sold

11"x14" oil on Belgian linen mounted on archival panel (Raymar)

"This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle: wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think it."
- Thomas Carlyle

This one is already claimed - it's a commission from a collector who has made her first trip over this year - and had quite a memorable time! Just painting this place again, brings back a flood of memories. Heights like that leave me breathless, and borderline with vertigo! Yikes. The drop off of these cliffs is terrifying. But on the day of our visit, there were daisies and wild-flowers growing near the edge...it made a nice foreground for the distant cliffs. My friend made sure to take us by there in the afternoon, as the sun (if there is any that day) will illuminate the cliff face, making those mossy green bits glisten in the sun.

Check out the Wikipedia entry on this. Turns out the cliffs were featured in the latest Harry Potter film! (How did I miss that?!) Guess, I'll have to go see it again....at an earlier hour so that I don't fall asleep!
