Painted on a locally sourced clam shell, Tides Passage — 004 captures the quiet aftermath of a summer storm. The marshlands glow beneath a clearing sky, where softened clouds reflect shifting color and light. This piece is part of an ongoing visual meditation on the coastal rhythms of Ipswich—how light lingers, how water retreats, and how stillness emerges in the in-between.
The shell was carefully gesso-primed before painting, allowing the oil to adhere while preserving the tactile history of the surface. Varnished for protection and longevity, the artwork honors the natural form and curvature of the shell itself.
Signed on the back. Title also appears along the shell’s edge.
Display Note: This piece does not include hanging hardware. Best displayed on a small easel, shelf, or resting surface. A display stand may be available as an optional add-on.
