Oyster Shell

Size

As many of you know, I love to eat shellfish, then take the shells home in a doggy bag. Recently, I was visiting my father in Florida and had the opportunity to dine on the freshest shellfish daily. Unfortunately, bringing the shells back to his house, then lugging them home on the plane was not an option. Thank goodness I had my handy dandy iPhone camera at the ready! Here's to my model, somewhere in Florida.... You will always be remembered!

Steamed Clam

6x6
SOLD

I enjoy painting, then eating, my models. Let's be honest, though--shellfish should not sit under the lights in an art studio for ANY length of time if the goal is to serve it for dinner (or a snack). Needless to say, this was painted from a photo I took of the subject--in my kitchen--on my plate, immediately after removing it from the steamer. Only seconds passed before it was eagerly eaten. It was scrumptious!
