Abalone Shell
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!

Mussel Shells
20 x 20
SOLD - Commissions Welcome
I like to steam my mussels with beer. The liquid released by the mussels, combined with the beer and a few chopped shallots is quite divine!

Starfish
Oil on Canvas
24x24

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....

Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs Lazy Susan
Acrylic on Handmade MDF (Furniture Grade) Lazy Susan
14-inch Diameter
NFS
14-inch Diameter
NFS
Yesterday, you saw my oysters on the half shell Lazy Susan which I made for my father's Christmas present. Today, Mom's gift takes center stage.
I grew up along the Eastern Seaboard, thanks to my dad's military service. Though I now reside in Texas, I am often homesick for the delicious fresh shellfish that was in abundance for most of my life. As a sweet reminder of our time near the Chesapeake Bay, I painted this Lazy Susan for my mom. (Actually, this was originally for Dad--sorry, Dad!--but I struggled painting all those crustaceans and Christmas loomed. I switched his subject in order to ship in a timely fashion.) Thus, Mom has the crabs (the Lazy Susan crabs, that is).
Commissions welcome!

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

Sand Dollar
Oil on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas

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 Oyster Shell
Oil
20x20
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....

Making Waves
18x24
Oil
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.

I'm dreaming of the beach again. We weren't able to go to the coast this summer and I'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms as a result. This little sand dollar (from one I found near the surf in Galveston) certainly helps ease the suffering!

I am craving some fresh mussels. Alas, the Gulf of Mexico does not provide these tasty mollusks. Thus, I must either relish the memories of my life back East or buy frozen mussels in a grocery store. I prefer the former....

Sand Dollar
Oil on canvas panel (museum grade)
6x6
The ground was saturated. The sandcastle "melted." The fluffsters were drenched. The aroma of "wet dog" mingled with the salty sea air. Eight of the nine bottles of sunblock we packed remain unopened.
This sand dollar evokes dreams of a sunny beach vacation. Next year....

Beach Sunrise

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....
