shell from sanibel island  inspiration for painting
Artist's Inspiration:
I took a trip to Sanibel Island, Florida and spent a lot of time walking the beach and looking at shells. I am particularly inspired by the inside of a shell, its contours and opalescent qualities.
I want to create an contemporary/abstract painting based on this inspiration.


Artist's Influences:
My very first artistic influence and favorite painting was by artist Lawren Harris from the Canadian Group of Seven. Growing up in Saskatoon (Canada), my parents would take me to the Mendel Art Gallery where they have this untitled Harris original painting of mountains. Even at a very young age I was drawn in by the raw power of the painting. It spoke to me. I tried to channel this feeling and spirit in my Mother of Pearl artwork.


Steps to create this painting
This picture shows work starting on the 16 x 20 study painting. I emulated the shadow contour from  the inside of the above shell to create my central shape. I then painted repeating grey and white shell contours on the left side. I decided to have the central shape reflect the sky and sea and the round ball is of course the pearl. I love the idea that the shell animal is the creator and mother of the pearl.

I am back to my roots on this one. I am painting it in old school egg tempera and pulling in aspects of my life's artistic journey starting with my earliest art influences
