“Musseling In On The Best View”. Framed.

Oil and acrylic on deep canvas.  Framed.   
Frame painted back size 46.5cm x 36.5cm and 4cm deep.
 I carefully studied a real mussel shell collected from my local beach.   What amazing colours it displayed which I was able to reproduce by adding glitter to my paint.  Such a simple object, but beautiful.  Background inspired by views from the River Dart in Devon.
