Bay Oyster

Kristine Kainer
Oil on Canvas Panel (Museum Grade)
6x6

This little oyster shell has lots of purple areas on the inside which made it extremely unusual from those I typically encounter at raw bars and restaurants.  Of course, it came home with me to be immortalized in a painting.  

NOTE:  I’m proud to have this painting represented online by UGallery. View my portfolio here: https://www.ugallery.com/Artist/Kristine-Kainer.

Abalone Shell

Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
20 x 20 x 1.325
SOLD - Commissions welcome

One of the most mesmerizing of shells is the abalone. As a child, I had a large one (purchased in a beach gift shop during a family vacation in Nagshead, North Carolina). I kept my favorite pieces of jewelry in it for years. Sadly, it disappeared some time after I graduated from college (any ideas, Mom?) and I’ve always regretted not having one to paint. (If you are familiar with my work, I ADORE painting sea shells.) Recently, however, I acquired a “new” abalone shell. Look out, world—this is my first abalone painting, but it won’t be my last!

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....
