Harstine Isl. Oyster
I've painted this watercolor to look very similar to the Harstine Isl. Crab painting I did some time ago. At first I wasn't sure how I liked this. I think it was because it was so similar to the crab painting ... But now that its finished and prints made, I'm very happy with it. The crab paintings (prints) seem to be very popular at the local farmers market and have had some customers ask for the same but with an oyster on it. Many people around here raise their own oysters so it seem fitting to the area. I have cards, matted 8" x 10" 's, and 11" x 14" 's that will be for sale next Saturday.
I love this one Nancy. Such a nice contrast between the shell and the background. I love how you go really dark right around the perimeter of the shell. ALSO, the text is a nice detail that adds a completely new dimension. I love text on paintings.
ReplyDeleteNancy!! The shape, lettering, colors -- so rich, so warm, so inviting!!! It's glorious and should do very well for you!! I really LOVE the colors and the way you've enriched the entire painting with the background ..!
ReplyDeleteThis is really neat and I bet will be a popular item for locals and tourists! I love the texture and the the negative space making up the island.
ReplyDeleteI love the background of your oyster! this is beautiful!
