"Girl with a pearl 
And barnacles"
Watercolor, pencil & thread
On paper
11.5” x 10”
 
Discovered amid washes of waves and color. 
 
In all my years of shell collecting, I always spend time imagining what lay inside each one. A creature, a home, a tiny treasure.
 
 
Painted on heavy weighted hot press paper with a deckled edge.
Unframed.
