Wild Shores

If you are reading this, you are most likely viewing my Isle of Wight wild shore painting, Smartphone in hand, having scanned the QR code beside it, and wondering what you'll see.

For your trouble, let me show you a video from another section of that shore in Fort Victoria country park.  Its quite a magical place...

Many are familiar with the tourist beaches of the Isle Of Wight, but surprisingly there are many wild shores in between. The painting you are looking at is from the North shore of the island, which is full of scrappy beaches of mud sand and grit. The video above is another of those spots on the North side.

To the South West there are long stretches of beach cut off by cliffs with just the odd chine (wooded valley) leading down to them. Round the corner past the lighthouse there are yet more remote beaches with a distinct brown fine shingle that you can have all to yourself.
