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.

Ice Cream and Oysters

No, I'm not pregnant. They're just my most recent listings on Etsy. The ice cream cone I picked up from the coffee shop on Monday, but the oyster is new. I think it would look good in a set, so I've been kicking around some ideas of sets of 3 in 4x4 or 6x6 groupings. Any ideas of good themes for groupings of 2 or 3? I'm feeling a coastal vibe lately, so maybe I'll go with that. I also agreed to do a market today! It doesn't start until March 9th, but I'm already getting excited about it. I don't do many shows or markets. In the past, they just haven't been very beneficial for business. But this... this is at the local mom & pop store about 3 minutes away from my house. I can't resist something that will bring exposure as well as benefit my community. So on Saturday, March 9th (and every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the months following), I'll be hanging out at McDaniel's General Merchandise for McHenry Market! I'm looking forward to
