Spiral Shell – Original Oil Painting

Medium  ·  Oil on panel

Dimensions  ·  40 × 40 cm (16 × 16 in)

Signed  ·  On the back

A single shell sits in a field of deep blue color, its spiral turned toward the light. Small enough to hold in one hand, but it carries the shape of the sea inside it.

Most of us keep something like this: a shell, a pebble, a folded ticket stub — a small thing that holds more than its size suggests. Proof of a place, a summer, a day worth remembering.

This is an original painting in deep blue, made on panel with a softness and glow that photographs only begin to capture. It sits well in quiet rooms on a shelf above a desk, beside a bed, or on any wall where small, steady things are welcome.
