Story

A shell from the oysters we farm in the Bellamy River that leads to Little Bay, NH. This is shell number 2 from a collection of a dozen. I dropped it “peanut butter side down” in the parking lot of Sanctuary Arts, so it has a character-enhancing nick in the bottom front.

This painting will be for sale at the Seacoast Art Association body of work exhibit in February 2024 – $190 framed.
