" Two Sunsets" 18x24 acrylic

This shell has been around a while....I have wanted to come up with a painting with the shell as the focal point,,,but did not want it to look like every other sea shell painting that we have all seen.   I guess if you study it long enough,,,something will come,,,and it did.   I will be painting a much larger canvas , similar idea soon.  

Long Horn & Magpie / background change

After finishing the Long Horn...and seeing it in different settings,  the background of solid gray,, just really bothered me.   The painting  needed a horizon line and color for the sky and foreground, now I'm happy with it.
