Off Topic Friday: Fingal's Cave III

I am posting on time for a change!

I sometimes find I like to paint a few pictures of a scene, trying to catch various moods associated with it. This is my latest: Fingal's Cave III.

For the vertical striping of the columns of basalt I used white gesso -- and entirely new medium for me -- and painted over the striped brushstrokes using watercolour.

For a hanging garden of moss I used acrylic ink that I allowed to dry a little before washing off the undried parts with running water.

I hope you enjoy it and promise I will paint a different subject next time.
