Shells: Study in Purple

24" x 30"

Original Oil on Birch Panel 

 $2,750

 

“I am captivated by the vibrancy and the unique qualities of purple in this intimate landscape.  Purple has the energy of red, yet the soothing qualities of blue, making it a very dynamic color.”

A macro view of the shoreline composed entirely of Atlantic Slipper Shells, this piece has an abstract feeling to it despite its painterly realistic rendering. Movement within an otherwise stable subject matter leads your eye through the piece to rest on this form, and then be coaxed along further by crisp linework.

After your vacation at the beach has become a fond memory, these realistic depictions of the tiny treasures along the shoreline will grace your home, remind you of the time, and restore your spirit.  When was the last time you sat on the sand and wondered just how did all of these diverse stones come to be? This deep wondering is exactly what Caroline Kwas seeks to inspire.  For her, rocks are a clue to the origins of our planet, an intimate history of Earth. They span an unthinkable period of time and hold silent secrets within their small being.  Her work opens these mysteries to us and allows us to contemplate them, and reawakens a reverence for the natural order of things.
