1st Large 2' x 3' Acrylic Completed for 2020 Shell Series I

The excitement of finding a prized shell.  

You see it peaking out of the sand or resting right on top.



The ocean lifts up. Waves churn and dare you to try and grab it before they do, reclaiming it for the sea.

You're aware of the clouds pinned in the blue sky and how your feet feel pinned in the sand.

The horizon dips and you lurch forward to snare your long sought after prize.


All your focus is on the shell.

You are in a race with the crashing waves and its blanketing foam.

It surely has bested you before.

But this time, you know the shell is yours to keep.
