Queen Conch and Sand Dollars - A Work in Progress

Today I was painting with the Lakefield Creative Arts Group at the St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Lakefield.

Since I wouldn't be able to stay the entire day, I chose to work on small pieces in pen and ink.














I brought along three pieces that I had started a long time ago (see post on 26 September 2014).

Beginning with the first one of three sketches featuring Queen Conch shells, I finished the first Sand Dollar and started on the Conch shell before I had to leave to for a number of appointments.

I will post this drawing at a later date once it has been completed.

Three Seashells

Today I thought I would do some sketches of some of the various sea shells I have in my collection.

For the first one I thought I would do a single Queen Conch shell on its own and I set it in an upright position rather than have it on its side.

For the second sketch I added a Murex shell and some seaweed to create an interesting display.

Next I added Sand Dollars and Clams with the Queen Conch shell.
