Abalone Shell - WIP

6"x18"

Something I'm really excited about :) Honestly, Sadie Jernigan Valerie did a breathtaking painting of an abalone shell, you know with the waxed paper all arching up over it, and actually with hers the exterior of the shell was polished too, but that painting inspired me to try one lying flat at eye level like this, I wanted to play up that rough exterior and how it contrasts with just a peek of the iridescent insides.....
