Seashell Series

 Probably about a year ago, I acquired a weathered, white, 3-window picture frame from my mother that I always knew I wanted to use for some future artwork. I recently decided it would be a good picture frame for my upcoming photography show and I decided I wanted to feature photos of seashells.

Also, about a year ago, I purchased seashells from a local gift shop with the idea of using them in artwork (which I haven't) and I laid these shells out on some brown bark paper which I have in my paper arsenal.

Then I photographed a dozen or more photos of these shells and worked with them in photoshop in order to come up with three designs to use in the frame.

Here are the results of that exercise.

Taking a Break

Girls Night Out (or GNO) is always such a welcome event in my life. It's just fun to get dressed up and travel out with the girls and try new places, new foods and new drinks. Last night's event at Savannah's Jazz'd Tapas Bar was a lot of fun. I had excellent fish tacos made with fresh swordfish and a wonderful dry martini with blue cheese stuffed olives in it. The live music was provided by Trae Gurley (a very cute Michael Bublé sort with a lot of talent) and I had a great time and a welcome break from everything.
