Seashell Study IX

• 9 x 12 
• fine acrylic, oil pastel and graphite on linen   
• hand-torn edges
• arrives in a custom pewter frame with mat 
• full size with frame: 16.5 x 19.5 

For this series, I have envisioned seashells in gestural motion, not just an object lying on a beach — but engaged, uninhibited, pirouetting, arms embracing the shore. Each is a study in subtlety, gesture, light and color.
