This type of shell, an olive, is found all along the North Carolina coast. I walked along the shore one day taking close-up "portraits" of the little guys with my camera. The background is a spatter technique, using an old toothbrush and thinned watercolor. The shell is masked off until the background is done. This is a miniature-size painting.
Sold through the Mattie King Davis Gallery in Beaufort, NC.
