Of Spines and Spindriffs

More than a still life, this original oil painting is a heartfelt tribute to the sea and the stories it inspires. What began with the quiet elegance of a conch shell soon evolved into an homage to some of my favorites — featuring Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea, John Casey’s Spartina and a nod to Winslow Homer’s The Gulf Stream subtly woven into the background. Layered with symbolism, texture, and love for ocean lore, this piece invites you to drift into the mysteries and majesty of the sea. Will look great on the wall or shelf!
