Noses Point
A promontary on the East Durham coast, just south of Durham. It overlooks the Blast Beach (so named for the Blast furnaces that toiled there before the colliery kings arrived to add their own special brand of pollution - along with the chemical companies and the glass works - but I digress.)
In actuality this is a piece of texture found just around the corner from the Blast, at the docks. But for me, it's the magnesian limestone cliff and eroding shelf of waste familar to those who regularly approach Noses Point from the south.
It will be a painting. Planning to try crinkled aluminium foil and staining it with thin layers of acrylic.
Watch this space.
There is a queue of ideas.
They percolate then grow stale.
Writing them down here may prod me into action

Don't let this one go stale.
There is too much wealth of juicy goodness here to let it slip behind other seemingly more important things.
(You may have to etch the aluminum foil to get the paint to adhere with any sort of durability.)
With a mild acid. I think vinegar, in the strength sold for household use, may be too weak. Might check with the chemists--they could work up a conction that would be safe (using gloves) to work with.
But try putting paint on the foil to see how durable it is. You may have best success using the dull side of the foil.
