Shells and Stripes

My collection of shells with beautiful shapes and patterns inspired me to paint them as a still life. I love the striped cloth underneath as it reminds me of faded fabrics or wall paper from summers long ago. This work would look fantastic in a coastal home setting or anywhere that you wanted to create a summery vibe.
