Beach walkers were left stunned when they stumbled across a giant artwork of a SKIER etched into the sand. The 150ft long drawing was carved into the shore on Bamburgh Beach in Northumberland.Retired GP Claire Eason, 55, turned beach artist, spent four hours crafting the giant skiing artwork using a garden rake.She said: "I always try and use the landscape in my artwork and I love the rugged nature of beach at Bamburgh."I just thought it looked like a ski-slope and thought I had to draw a skier on there."I worked out the tides and got down to the beach as early as I could and spent several hours marking it out and shading it in with my rake."What I like most about these drawings is they are not always obvious what they are until they are seen from above."Since posting drone footage of her creation social media, thousands of fans have viewed and shared it online.Writing on Facebook, Joe Sprigg said: "Amazing.
I spotted Claire on the beach and desperately tried to work out what she was doing but now I know."Truly wonderful to use the beach as her own sketch pad."Art fan Betty Dixon added: "Loving the skier hurtling down the rocks at Bamburgh.
Wonderful use of the landscape."
