What started out as an experiment of iridescent paints on light and dark backgrounds has evolved into a repeated study of the Gulf oyster shell in my Oyster Series - from mini paintings on juniper tree slices to larger-scale layered paintings on wood panels. The Oyster Series features layers of metallic gold, pearlescent and iridescent alcohol ink and acrylic on a neutral palette of white, pearl and gray. I absolutely love the depth and interest of each piece and find these are perfect for any decor.
