My Heart's Always Home
Day Dawns Beyond the Atlantic Sea!
Sea Shells are gently applied beneath glass. |
The Large DioRama was created by an elderly gentleman captain from Maryland around 1880 THE PRIDE OF BALTIMORE |
The Shells were collected by myself and found mostly along the Atlantic in New Jersey Specifically. Finding the shells are 1/2 of the fun.
I haven't decided if the frame needs any work, but I happen to think that it might be good just as it is! It will need modified, however, to receive the painting with the shells because the shells add a surface that is not entirely flat. The glass would be in the way.
I spend some time over the summer at the Chesapeake bay and take a lot of photos. I think this painting sort of reminds me of the bay area.
I love it hanging with my mermaid seashell painting. You can read about this at http://kolenespicher.blogspot.com/2017/05/mermaid-seashell-creation.html |
This painting and the others presented here are part of my collection that will be shown at the Wilton Historical Society's upcoming 2017 show held the first weekend of November 3-5, 2017
