Sea Shell Drift

I walk along the beach with my camera taking random photos of the tiny shells. When I'm in the studio I look at the photos and see endless possibilities. I hope you like this one.

Beach Scenes

Three beach scenes to brighten up a chilly winter day.

Bit of Coral

A bit of coral and many small shells balance against each other and almost seem to float, yet all are anchored by the Giant Heart Cockle.

Blue Shell

I call this painting the blue shell because of the small shell nestled inside the larger one—the shadows making it appear blue.

White Shell

I've been working on this painting and like the added shadows that make it more dimensional. 

The big news is that I have giclees on canvas of three paintings and prints on paper of each of them for sale at a store in Venice, Florida that specializes in all things about the sea called Sirene. I hope you and your friends can go and check them out!

This large painting of shell hash started this series of shell paintings. It measures 36 x 48. I take loads of photos of the shells that wash up on shore, using the parts that I find the most interesting.

Tiny Shells

Working on a triptych is a bit of a challenge because you are really painting three canvasses at the same time using the same colors to make it all one image. I like the use of lacy foam rushing onto the shore across the tops of the paintings.
