Galveston Crab

Oil
30x10
SOLD

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!

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!

Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs Lazy Susan

Chesapeake Blues

Acrylic on Handmade MDF (Furniture Grade) Lazy Susan
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!

Oysters on the Half Shell Lazy Susan

14-inch Diameter

Acrylic on MDF (Furniture Grade) Lazy Susan
SOLD - Commissions Welcome

Last year I was commissioned by the wife of the CEO of my husband's company about painting a couple of fruit Lazy Susans. After much research and occasional hair-pulling (these were new waters for me), I completed the project and was smitten with the results.

Well, my parents were smitten as well. For Christmas, they each got a coastal-themed Lazy Susan. Above is the one I did for my dad. These oysters will never spoil!

Commissions welcome!

Lobster Bubble Bath

Lobster Bubble Bath

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

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....

Oyster Shell

Size

Oil on Canvas
Purchase Information

As many of you know, I love to eat shellfish, then take the shells home in a doggy bag. Recently, I was visiting my father in Florida and had the opportunity to dine on the freshest shellfish daily. Unfortunately, bringing the shells back to his house, then lugging them home on the plane was not an option. Thank goodness I had my handy dandy iPhone camera at the ready! Here's to my model, somewhere in Florida.... You will always be remembered!

Steamed Clam

6x6
SOLD

I enjoy painting, then eating, my models. Let's be honest, though--shellfish should not sit under the lights in an art studio for ANY length of time if the goal is to serve it for dinner (or a snack). Needless to say, this was painted from a photo I took of the subject--in my kitchen--on my plate, immediately after removing it from the steamer. Only seconds passed before it was eagerly eaten. It was scrumptious!
