Artist's Inspiration:
I took a trip to Sanibel Island,
Florida and spent a lot of time walking the
beach and looking at
shells. I am particularly inspired by the
inside of a shell, its contours and
opalescent qualities.
I want to create an contemporary/abstract
painting based on this inspiration. |

Artist's
Influences:
My very first artistic influence and
favorite painting was by artist Lawren
Harris from the Canadian Group of Seven.
Growing up in Saskatoon (Canada), my parents
would take me to the Mendel Art Gallery
where they have this untitled Harris
original painting of mountains. Even at a
very young age I was drawn in by the raw
power of the painting. It spoke to me. I
tried to channel this feeling and spirit in
my Mother of Pearl artwork. |

Steps to
create this painting
This picture shows work starting on the 16 x
20 study painting. I emulated the shadow contour from the
inside of the above shell to create my
central shape. I then painted repeating grey
and white shell contours on the left side. I decided
to have the central shape reflect the sky
and sea and the round ball is of course the
pearl. I love the idea that the shell animal
is the creator and mother of the pearl.
I am back to my roots on this one. I am
painting it in old school egg tempera and
pulling in aspects of my life's artistic
journey starting with my earliest art
influences |
