Empty Clamshells with Lemon


Oil on canvas mounted to panel, 6x6--SOLD
These succulent little morsels beckoned me from the seafood counter. They had JUST ARRIVED and I promptly whisked them home to steam. Needless to say, the painting began AFTER my feast.

  1. This is a beautiful painting. The shells are painted with such nice pinks and violets. And that lemon! It looks like you could reach in and grab it. The shadows are nicely done, as well. Good job!

  2. Thank you, Linda! I actually added the lemon at the last minute--I thought the painting needed a splash of color. Glad you enjoy it!
