My Third Audubon Seashell Collection

These card size paintings in pastel and watercolour are being used as another card series for Audubon Stores, this is the third series I have created for them. The backs of the cards have a complete description of the shell and its habitat.

My sea shell cards are in book stores, gift shops and stores through the South East, Caribbean and Hawaii.

Many people frame the cards as they are on a very heavy gloss paper stock, archival, suitable for framing.

Most of these shells in the collection are found in the Caribbean, Florida & East Coast, California and Hawaii.
A wonderful place to look up your favorite beautiful shell http://www.blogger.com/goog_1499547105

Everyone loves sea shells and has special memories of a vacation spent at the beach. I look forward to hearing from all seashell collectors. Please drop me an email and share with me your collection.

These are available in cards for sell and small glicee prints on my web store.

Jamaica Greater Antilles Pastel Seascape Painting Phyllis O'Shields Contemporary Impressionism

Exploring Jamaica Cove Greater Antilles

 Plein air pochade - Pastel on Japanese Kasuiri Kozo Bark Hand Laid Paper

copyright Phyllis O'Shields 2010

This pochade was done on a beach in Jamaica, Greater Antilles, Caribbean.  These first studies are quickly done to become familiar with my surroundings. The Blue Mountains are in the background. (Blue Mountain coffee, yum)
 Jamaica offers beautiful views of Paradise from the mountains and the ocean, making it perfect for artist to backpack into the wild.   .

  I like to use rough Kasuiri, Kozo Bark hand laid paper from Japan which has texture that adds to the environment on the beach. Often I finish with a mixture of sand and bugs on the paper. It is very forgiving when using en plein air.  These sketches  will be used in a series of my plein air explorations of islands recorded in journals.   They are going into a current book under construction now.

Jamaica Greater Antilles Pastel Seascape Painting Phyllis O'Shields Contemporary Impressionism

Jamaica Greater Antilles Seascape
Pastel on Paper unmated 19 x 24 inches

  ©PhyllisO’Shields 2010

Jamaica's beaches are beautiful and private.  I visit Ocho Rios for at least  two weeks each year for plein air painting, usually in pastel. Ah, the joys of painting plein air... This was a challenge - I started early in the morning but as the morning progressed I was attacked by sand fleas... really a labor of love, but worth the effort. The next morning I went out equipped with bug spray.

 This pastel was painted at one of my favorite desolate beaches. Jamaica is beautiful in its combination of beaches with aqua water and the heavy  foliage in the Blue Mountains.
  I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed creating the painting.
