Broken Seashell


Broken Seashell by Kristine Kainer
Oil
40 x 30 x 1.5 inches
Purchase Information

This broken seashell (possibly a gulf drill shell) was found along the beaches of Galveston, Texas during a family vacation.  Only 2.75 inches in actual size, I decided to paint an enormous realistic version.  I must say, I am pleased with the results and can't wait to find more broken shells on an upcoming trip to the beach.

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!

Starfish

Starfish
Oil on Canvas
24x24
Available

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....

Lobster Bubble Bath



Lobster Bubble Bath
Copyright Kristine Kainer 2014
9x12
Oil on Gessobord
Purchase Information

What is more sinfully delectable than a lobster or more relaxing than a bubble bath?  How about the two combined?

This painting is a definite departure for me.  Whimsical in nature, it combines my love of lobster (I'm anxiously awaiting our Lobstergram delivery next week for my daughter's fifteenth birthday here in land-locked Austin, TX) and the joys of a bubble bath in an old clawfoot tub in our 1928 farmhouse.

Purple Oyster Shell

© Kristine Kainer 2014
6x6
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....
