_
my friend barbara in a double exposure shot. the other photo is of a "sambaqui" (large amount of small shells ).
I wanted to work on andamento with this piece. I love the work of Iliya Iliev and he has a wonderful shell mosaic that I used as inspiration for this piece. I collected the shells in Florida while vacationing and wanted the flawed time-worn fragments.
Olive shells are gastrpods in the family Olividae. All have cylindrical, glossy shells with narrow, elongated apetures.
Letttered olives havea thick shell with a small pointed spire about 1/9th total shell length. Shells that are not faded or beach-worn are covered with overlapping, slightly blurry, brown zigzags that are darkest below the suture and as part of two, broad, spiral bands. Oliva reticularis (the Netted Olive) has no bands and a larger spire of about 1/7th total shell length.
The species' range is from North Carolina to Florida and the Gulf states of North America, including Louisiana and Texas; It also occurs in Mexico, and may also occur in Brazil. The lettered olive typically lives in near-shore waters, on shallow sand flats near inlets. The empty shell is occasionally, or sometimes commonly, washed up onto ocean beaches.[
Lettered Olives are carnivores and actively prey on bivalves and crabs.
The lettered olive is the state shell of South Carolina.
Close-up shot of a shell. I wanted to capture how complex a shell really is and the curvature of its body!

Several Decades ago, Shell put out a number of series of cards. They also sold albums to put these cards in. Everytime you went to Shell for petrol, or anything else, they gave you some cards. The idea was to collect the whole lot, and generally they were most obliging in allowing you to go through the box, to get the cards you were missing.

This shoes whatever is sepping from the sand is killing all the shellfish on the shore and it stinks, your kids could be playing in this oozing from the sand where kids play.? The shells are a foot deep in bits.
A recent family half term holiday in Whitby, birthplace to none other than Count Dracula and host for the annual Goth weekend, would perhaps seem an unlikely inspiration to paint a shell in the sand with some stones!
With all the tradition mixed with fancy dress that goes on in this bustling seaside town at this time of year it's definitely the place to be...although good luck finding a spot in a restaurant!
Anyway, back to the stones! So, having started painting again in September for the first time in 30 years, this holiday my camera and I had a slightly different agenda to normal.
Gone were the endless family point and clicks and in were the walks along the beach, camera facing downwards at stones, rock pools, shells and the like!
The obvious downside to that?...In 10 years time we won't be able to use my holiday snaps to help us remember the fun we had in our Whitby week!
Shell Australia owned NTAF 6057N sits adjacent to the platform on the down main at Cootamundra Station. This tanker forms part of the loading of 1327 Bomen Oil train. The Shell owned NTAF wagons come off the train at Cootamundra, and are used to convey fuel to the fuel point here. Empty NTAF tank wagons are shunted back on to the northbound 3128 service.
The Shell Grotto is an ornate subterranean passageway in Margate, Kent. Almost all the surface area of the walls and roof is covered in mosaics created entirely of seashells, totalling about 2,000 square feet (190 m2) of mosaic, or 4.6 million shells. It was discovered in 1835 but its age remains unknown. The grotto is a Grade I listed building and is open to the public.
