More Shells

'Sunrise Shells' 6x6

I painted this small shell study today to fit in a frame I had. It was a nice frame with a double mat on clearance. I thought the other shell painting would fit but it was too big. I don't want a nice frame to go to waste so I had fun with this little painting. This is from one of my Sanibel photos.I believe the big shell is a Buttercup Lucine. I wish I had taken more like it...the combinations are endless! I will get a chance this January as we just booked a Caribbean cruise. I am excited about the ports...Turks & Caicos, Tortola, St. Thomas and a private island in the Bahamas. Now I have to hit the clearance racks for a new bathing suit!
