Shell Stack I


Shell Stack I, oil/panel, 6" x 6", is a study for a larger painting that includes stacked shells. I wanted to experiment with different shell shapes and the colors found in seemingly white objects. Also, I enjoyed exploring the shadows cast by the shells.

Lately, I've been working mostly on smaller-scale paintings and studies and sketches for larger paintings. It is easier to experiment and juggle multiple canvases and panels when they are small. In the coming weeks I will be able to offer some of these smaller paintings for purchase online. My smaller paintings are affordable for new collectors and can be displayed together in interesting arrangements as a collection grows. Once I'm up and running somewhere, I'll post a notice here.
