Shells

Inspired by summer days and beach holidays, this work was painted from a selection of shells displayed on a wooden platter. It evokes the carefree memories of walking along sandy beaches finding little miracles of natures beauty that wash up on the shore. Framed in contemporary white oak natural timber.
