Story

A shell from the oysters we farm in the Bellamy River that leads to Little Bay, NH. I usually paint the bowls of the oysters but I liked the terrain on the back of this oyster.

All my oyster paintings from oysters we raise are named after Atlantic Hurricanes. Hurricane Doria occurred in 1967.
