Les falaises d'Etretat

"L'aguille d'Etretat"
30x30cm oil on canvas

I couldn't resist painting another view of the iconic cliffs at Etretat. Since rock formations on the Normandy coast usually have names, I did some research. To my surprise, I found videos of some recent landslides near Etretat. Here -- YouTube -- a young photographer caught some of the action on camera. The town mayor is worried there could be more rocks falling and points out some crevasses in the cliffs. On another video, an expert explains that the entire Normandy coast is threatened by the phenomena, partially caused by global warming.
