Raw Oyster

Oysters have played a big role in our family for years. My father-in-law (more like my dad) made his living as an oyster fisherman, running a skiff out of Pass Christian Harbor. I'd often go with him to help him get done more quickly, and there's nothing like the taste of a fresh, raw oyster that's just been shucked and rinsed in the salt water of the Gulf. Oysters have been the subject of many of my paintings. This particular oyster painting was on Day 47 of my daily painting challenge.
