Shell Study No. 1-The Whelk Shell


I love the ocean and oceanic life.  My daughter, Francie, found this shell on the beach near Gulf Shores, Alabama last summer.  She was so excited!  A brilliant smile on a beautiful face. She's such a dear!  

Shot simply on a black background, I like to find the form and contour of the shells. Grouping them together can tell a story or create a mood.
