Clam Shells

I have a few commissions on my list that I need to be working on. 

However, I needed a break, so I painted these clams. 

Not sure why. 

Just wanted to paint clams.

They are still propped up on this mantle in the guest bedroom. I love them! 
Here is the original photograph on the right and my interpretation on the left.....

The original photo (above) is on my Pinterest board and is by Heidi Piccerelli. 

This new piece of art would look great in my fantasy beach house...

Have a great day!
