I was in bliss when we were in Doolin as it had a ton of fantastical rock textures, one of my favourite things to photograph.
From Google: Doolin is a village on Ireland’s west coast. It’s known as a gateway to the ancient sites on the Aran Islands, which are just offshore. The towering Cliffs of Moher lie southwest of town.
Here are a few of my Aran Island rock texture photos in a collage.
And another with the addition of fossil shells and rust.
A rock texture from the Cliffs of Moher.
Another rock texture from the Cliffs of Moher overlaid with a folded painting of mine.
And an Aran Island rock overlaid with the same painting.
The folded painting.
I haven’t had time to do much more work on the vast collection of rock texture images I have from the area but I can hardly wait!

Cool.
Beautiful images. Rocks are such a great subject for the camera.
Rocks are such a wonderful subject this week. I’d kill to be able to paint (ok maybe not actually kill, but close!!)
Fascinating!
Beautiful rockscapes and textures!
These are wonderful Elizabeth, abstraction at its best and most creative; love them all 🙂
Mother Nature has created such wonderful abstractions in rocks – when I went into a petrified wood museum in the Southwest I was almost discouraged about my paintings – I felt I could never compete!
I too get excited around rock scapes!
It’s going to take me years to getting around to painting/messing with all of the rock photos I have accumulated over time.
