Default By the Sea

I finally got around to finishing this relief I call By the Sea. I got the idea from a pattern by Lora Irish. I framed it in bloodwood and it seemed to really set it off.

Thanks Mark, Bill, Tom and Curt. I love the sound of the sea on the shore. I miss being able to go to the beach.

Only mussel shells here in Oklahoma, but there are shells in Texas, Louisiana and Maine where we get to visit occasionally.
