Blue Crab

Oil on Canvas Panel (Museum Grade)
8x10
Purchase Information

I recently returned from a trip to Galveston (4 hours away) with precious cargo: 20 pounds of live blue crabs! The entire weekend was spent picking, then feasting, then picking, then feasting, etc. I must say, the efforts (and sore fingers) were worth every morsel!

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!

Did you know that starfish can lose a limb at will as a defense mechanism?  Did you know that they can also regenerate limbs after a loss?  Wouldn't it be amazing to have that kind of "technological know-how" in the world of medicine?  The humble starfish--I am in awe....

Sand Dollar

Oil on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas

40 x 30 x 1.5

Purchase Information

This sand dollar was found while beachcombing near Galveston, Texas.  In folklore, these skeletal remains of sea urchins were thought to be the lost coins of mermaids.  I wish I had known that when my daughter was younger and the world was filled with magic and wonder!

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.

Sand Dollar

Oil on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas

20x16

Purchase Information

With temperatures already in the upper 90s in Central Texas, my thoughts turn to the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells of the beach.  Oh, to feel the sand between my toes!  

Gulf Crab

Oil on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas

24x12

SOLD

As an Eastern Seaboard resident, I was well-acquainted with the exquisite blue crabs from the Chesapeake Bay.  Their delectable meat, kissed with Old Bay seasoning and dipped in vinegar is an incomparable eating experience.  Imagine my surprise one year upon visiting a local crab house in Virginia and finding out that the crabs were flown in from Texas!

Now a resident of Texas, I dearly miss my Atlantic coast, yet I am grateful for the bounty of the Gulf of Mexico.  Every time I visit Galveston, I pack my personal supply of Old Bay and hit the wharves in search of this culinary treasure.  It's almost like being home again....

Gulf Oyster Shell

Oil

There is nothing like slurping down freshly shucked oysters at the beach -- with lots of sand between your toes!  Alas, in Austin, I must sit at an oyster bar.  At least my car won't get sandy....

Oyster with Lemon

Oil on Canvas Panel, 6x6--SOLD

We are now the proud owners of a gallon of freshly shucked oysters from the Gulf of Mexico. Needless to say, I've been snacking on them throughout the day (covered in horseradish). Slurp, slurp!

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....
