Hi Everyone....
I am still amazed at the weather these last few weeks....it is like a super hot summer here already and last weekend we spent our time at the beach....and in the water too....that is unheard of for May....but I am not complaining....only enjoying every moment....and today thinking about all things sandy and beachy....so I worked on some shell inspired sketches today.....I have always collected shells my whole life and love them....they are amazing and so beautiful....and now our son has also acquired this love of shells and he is collecting shells too.....I think they are like magical pieces of natural art.....each one has its own story....
I also remember when my sweet husband took me to Sanibel Island and Captiva Island ...the shell capital of the world....and I was in awe at the shells we found at the beach....so amazing.....a memory I will never forget....and I have shells to prove it!
Happy Sunday Everyone....and Happy Creating.....

When I was young I used to pick shells when I went to the sea. I think I still have some boxes somewhere... eheheh!!! Love your shells!!
Hi Diana,
Beautiful drawing of the shell collection and it is something I have always loved collecting.
I remember walking along the beach with my dear old Grandmother who used to walk with two walking sticks as she had broken her hip, when I was a little girl and picking up the shells for her.
Have a happy weekend
Hugs

Such pretty shells! It's really amazing how many different shapes and sizes they come in. Almost like flowers.
shells really are a treasure. yours are lovely. we on the other hand have a high of 47F today! and rain, the world looks like a lush rainforest.
