Taking photographs plays an important part in capturing  images and ideas which inspire Jill McIntosh´s work.





Shorelines and beaches can be particularly interesting  where there are distinctive rock types tumbled together,
the effect can be very dramatic and unexpected.

                     Seaweed and lichen on rocks randomly produce a dazzling  variety of shape, form and texture.





Isle of Gigha, Scotland




Clumps of seaweed wafting in the current create a beautiful flowing movement. 


Exquisite shades of turquoise softly merge together and are constantly changing in the sunlight.








Rugged coastlines are spectacular places.
Waves clash against craggy cliffs,
constantly attacking the rock from all sides.
They flow greedily into and through every gap, but are sucked back relentlessly
through sprays of white foam.


Light reflections on the water and from the sky cause stunning effects and create wonderful hues of blue.

Bright yellow gorse bushes contrast vividly against the steely blue waters of Loch Fyne.
