Bay Oyster

Kristine Kainer
Oil on Canvas Panel (Museum Grade)
6x6

This little oyster shell has lots of purple areas on the inside which made it extremely unusual from those I typically encounter at raw bars and restaurants.  Of course, it came home with me to be immortalized in a painting.  

NOTE:  I’m proud to have this painting represented online by UGallery. View my portfolio here: https://www.ugallery.com/Artist/Kristine-Kainer.

Supermarket Sushi

Supermarket Sushi

10x8

Every now and then, the sushi case at my local supermarket calls my name. Glistening little delicacies of hand cut and formed fish and rice maki, nigiri, and rolls beckon to be taken home, kissed with soy sauce and a dab of wasabi, and eaten with delight.  (Washing it down with a Kirin Ichiban or Sapporo doesn't hurt either.) Yes, supermarket sushi is not upscale, nor is it meant to be.  The green plastic grass like garnish and a foil package of soy sauce make that obvious.  Yet, it can "hit the spot" when a burger and fries just won't do.

Blue Crab

Blue Crab
Oil
20x20x1.5

This feisty blue crab will remind you of life at the beach with all it has to offer:  impeccably fresh seafood, the calls of seagulls, salty breezes, waves lapping at the shore, and sand everywhere.  Wired to hang.

Making jelly is a new hobby of mine -- blackberry, blueberry, strawberry, even fig and loquat -- have found their way into canning jars, my pantry, and my mouth.
