Purple Oyster Shell

Oil on Canvas
SOLD

This is a special oyster shell for an obvious reason:  the smooth inner shell (also known as the Mother of Pearl or nacre) is mostly purple.  Nature is full of surprises.  One just needs to pay attention....

Slippery When Wet

Acrylic

6x8
SOLD

Happy New Year!  Now that the child and husband have returned to school and work respectively, I broke out the acrylics (usually I paint with oils) and tried something whimsical.  The result is a mermaid luxuriating in a bubble bath.  I've entitled it, "Slippery  When Wet."  Enjoy!

Purchase Information

We've all seen them:  paintings that look like they were made by a gorilla that sell for record amounts of money in the art world.  After a particularly frustrating day (and seeing some of those astronomical purchase prices via a fellow artist's Facebook post), I temporarily regressed back to the simpler days of childhood.  Using leftover paint on my palette and my trusty middle finger, I created this seascape fingerpainting.  Enjoy.
