Filey Head - Oil on Board

North East of York the coast between Flamborough Head and Bempton Cliffs is as wild as most day-walkers could want it. Some of the highest cliffs in England are here, and an abundance of coastal wildlife. I love all precipices, and especially sea cliffs. What I tried to capture in this painting is the exhilaration produced by the buffeting of the sea wind, and the wonderful sense of height and space and volume opened up by the plummeting depths beneath our feet. Only a cliff can offer such dramatic perspectives both horizontally and vertically, simultaneously. I wanted to reproduce for someone pausing to stare for a few minutes, the strange temptation that can come to anyone on a cliff or on a precipice, to let go and plunge into the void.
