'Gertie Rock Oyster' by Naomi Crowther is a softly rendered abstract oyster shell in olive green, peach, teal and granite, on a pure linen background. Gertie would team up beautifully with 'Gilbert Rock Oyster' as pictured. Gilbert may still be available on a separate listing. Gentle, painterly brushstrokes convey a contemporary yet illustrative feel. When you lean in close, Naomi's use of subtle hues evoke the soft rainbow of colours inside the oyster shell. Each oyster is so different, no two are ever exactly the same, so Naomi has chosen to name many of her oyster paintings as if they were human, with their own personality and identity. Naomi Crowther's studio is on the Far South Coast of NSW, and she takes cues from local oyster farms as inspiration for this artwork.
‘Childhood weekends spent messing about along tidal waterways made me a true oyster lover. My brother and I would adventure for hours along the waterways, always with a knife and bush lemon in our pockets. When we felt hungry we'd open oysters straight off the rocks and use the lids to scoop them out. I'll always savour that creamy, fresh sea water taste.' - Naomi.
