9 x 12" oil on canvas, painted directly from life. I don't know the name of this pretty shell, I like the pink center, reminds me of the Caribbean.

About Me
- Annie Howell-Adams
- Artist Statement I like all areas of art, doing everything from portraits, figurative work, collage, monoprints, pastels, plein air painting, and Abstracts! It is great when things cross over from the abstract universe to the real world, a wonderful synthesis. Above all I am colorist and I believe in strong drawing skills at the basis of all my work.

Gorgeous colors, Anne. I love the delicate but loose brushwork. It think it's a murex shell (which used to be ground up to make royal blue dye hundreds of years ago).
Hi, Thanks for the identification. I love the variety of pinks in this shell. I have several of this size canvas, I'm inspired to try a few other shells.
It's interesting learning what artist used to do before going down to the local art supply store. I was just thinking about that this morning, how painting changed so radically in the late 19th C, partly due to lead tubes, and also due to the creation of so many new pigments.
