Coastal Art ~ Loran Chavez

I am a Professional Artist in Fairhope, Alabama. My work is in multiple media but my favorite is Acrylics~next in line Watercolors and then Oils. My favorite subjects include local wildlife, landscape~usually with boats, and obsession paintings (looking at other peoples obsessions in a new way).I participate in a lot of outdoor shows with helper and spouse Christopher. I do several outdoor shows a year and this blog is about the adventures getting ready for them.

Lacy Murex

Today's offering is a neat little painting that turned out beautifully. I really enjoy painting texture and murex shells are full of nooks and crannies. They are also quite colorful in a muted way. I know my parents shell collection from the Phillipines has a couple of gorgeous murex's. One of these has deep brown edges and is very tiny.

Anyway, I hope you're not tired of shells yet as I am creating more to take into the Florida shows. We are getting excited about our upcoming trip, making plans for our time together.

Packing, painting, planning.
Showtime in less than two weeks.
