\"Star<\/p>\n

Star Of The Sea<\/strong> – Mixed Media – 5 x 7 inches – Work in progress<\/p>\n

This morning I started working on an idea I had for a painting inspired by seashells I found in a box while rummaging through our garage.<\/p>\n

There were tiny starfish no bigger than the tip of my little finger and seashells of every shape and color imaginable. I also found sea glass, tiny round stones, dried sea grass and a cornucopia of treasures I had gathered on one of our seaside visits.<\/p>\n

I felt like a little girl who had found a magical treasure box!<\/p>\n

Over the years I have found beautiful pieces of driftwood, and an odd assortment of sea shells, and sea onions for art projects, and as reference material for sketches.<\/p>\n

I love the way sea onions look when dried and they are great for making rattles and little wizened magical creatures.<\/p>\n

thoughts for the day;<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Every time we walk along a beach some ancient urge disturbs us so that we find ourselves shedding shoes and garments or scavenging among seaweed and whitened timbers like the homesick refugees of a long war.” -Loren Eiseley<\/p>\n
