Beautiful Cliffs of Guernsey, Channel Islands - Photography and Art

in photography •  7 years ago 

I have been staying on the island of Guernsey these past few weeks as I am seeing family and escaping the New Zealand winter. Guernsey is one of the channel islands and is located within the English Channel and is the island where I was born.

One of my favourite areas of Guernsey is the beautiful south coast cliffs in which there are some amazing views. I have been doing cliffs walks here, out with my camera and getting photo reference for paintings. I thought I'd share some of my photos with you.

This is the view from Icart Point which in my opinion is one of the best views in the island.

This island of Guernsey has an area of 24 square miles so its not very big.

The cliffs exhibit very vibrant natural colours which is why I was out taking so many photos for potential oil paintings.

This is Moulin Huet, this view has been painted by the 19th century artist's Pierre-Auguste Renoir and William Trost Richards.

This view looks westwards along the cliffs and there is a footpath all the way along.

This is another view from Icart Point, there are some secluded beaches in the distance. I love this part of the island.

Another one of my favourite views, so much so that I decided to paint it recently.

And this was my recent oil painting that I finished a couple of weeks ago.

Guernsey Cliffs, 10" x 14", oil on canvas.

I hope you liked my photos :)

Thanks @feel.good :)

Amazing place, I love your photos. It looks a little similar to Waiheke Island, coastline. I can see you have got some really good inspiration there. The water looks so clear, just asking for a snorkel 😊

The water in Britain rarely looks so inviting!

@scalextrix The water really does look this blue!

Thanks @andraskalmar-art, yeah I guess in some ways it looks a little like NZ.

Thanks @whatalife :)

Such wonderful scenery, it must be so tranquil there.

It's a beautiful place @opheliafu and lots to paint if you're a landscape artist.

I love cliffs by the beach! there is always that powerful feeling of nature when you are at places like that and you've captured it great !

Thanks @rorxco :)

@andraskalmar-art sent me here :) I'm going to the beach today and try to paint the beautiful landscape aswell, nice to get some inspiration in advance. I really like your post and drawings! Followed and liked :)

Thanks @jb-design, I have followed you too. I know @andraskalmar-art as we often went plein air painting together especially when I live in Auckland.

Your country is famous for amazing landscapes and you are the master of capturing in your paintings the endless beauty of them. :)
