It’s hard to visit a Wicklow beach without coming home with pockets full of stones! The colours and patterns are so lovely. Have close look at these groupings – click & scroll on for larger images – some of the pinks and oranges and blues are just stunning.

Oranges

The stone in the centre is its own rainbow

Greys. I use a lot of grey in my work – forever adding it to colours to tone them down.

Murky dark colours – good for sinister subjects!

Blues

Pinks, rose, amber, mauve,

And sometimes the shape is what catches your eye…
