Oysters on the Half Shell - Coastal Art

Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
20 x 20 x 1.375
Purchase Information

Here in Texas, we have delicious oysters from the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. These particular ones were from Galveston Bay. A squirt of lemon and quick dip into cocktail sauce (heavy on the horseradish) make this a welcome appetizer. Like potato chips, though, you can’t eat just one!

Blue Crab

Oil

10x8

SOLD

This gorgeous creature was caught off the waters of Galveston.  We were fortunate enough to be on the docks soon after the catch arrived.  We selected half a bushel, headed to our rented beach cottage, and--with plenty of Old Bay-- had a mouthwatering meal that evening.

Commissions welcome.

Oyster Shell for Dad

Oil on Canvas Panel (Museum Grade)

6x6

NFS

This painting is a second birthday gift for my dad, Lt. Col. Peter G. Scharf, USMC-Ret.  It is a companion piece to my previous post of a clam shell.  Dad is now enjoying both in his home in Florida.  Happy Birthday once again, Dad!

Clam Shell

Oil on Canvas Panel

6x6

NFS

This clam shell painting is a birthday gift for my amazing father, Lt. Col. Peter G. Scharf, USMC-Ret.  I spent my childhood along the Eastern Seaboard, from North Carolina to Maine.  As a result of our proximity to the Atlantic, shellfish was commonplace in our home.  I fondly remember Dad leaning over the sink, shucking clams and slurping out the delicious meat and juices--as a snack.

Dad eventually taught me how to eat them.  At first, he paid me for each one I managed to "stomach."  After the first or second one though, I quickly realized how delicious they were!  I made some decent money that day....  Happy Birthday, Dad!

Beach Sunrise

Oil, Canvas, 24x12--View eBay Listing

This could just as easily be called "Fun with Color." It is based on a photo taken by a dear friend from my Williamsburg days, Pyongmu Chon, while he vacationed with his family in Nagshead. How I miss the Outer Banks....

Scotch Bonnet Seashell

We've had this seashell for years--it was found at the beach in either North Carolina or Florida (I can't remember which). I finally had to immortalize it.

Moonlit Beach

Oil on Belgian linen on panel, 6x6--Purchase for $75

This is my first night scene. We had the most glorious full moon the other night and I wanted to combine its beauty with that of the ocean. I am utterly charmed by this one....

Beach, No. 3

Acrylic on Panel, 6x6--SOLD

Beach, No. 2

For this beach scene, I chose a different kind of panel--yesterday's was a smooth Ampersand one; today's is on a polyflax, cotton canvas mounted to a balanced wood panel by RayMar. The main difference is the amount of texture. The canvas shows its weave. However, for landscapes, I think I actually prefer the smoother board--it's cheaper, uses more paint, but gives the art a more "polished" look. Any thoughts?

Beach, No. 2 - Acrylic on cotton canvas mounted to a wood panel, 5"x7", SOLD

Beach, No. 1

This is quite a departure for me: landscapes are rare in my repertoire; yet beach scenes are even rarer. In fact, this is the first one I ever attempted. (Reminds me of Nagshead, NC....heavy sigh.)

I planned on putting this painting in a gallery on the historic Square in Georgetown, TX in preparation for this month's First Friday festivities. I even had an antique guilded frame for it (which added to the price)!!!!! Alas, an East Coast transplant who visited my home FOUR HOURS LATER took it home with her....
