Seashell and Flotsam Assemblage - Take a Bite 2022 Challenge Entry

I made this assemblage art canvas for the Take a Bite Out of Your Stash challenge

I had a container of seashells that have been in the closet for years. And added in some random bits and treasures.

Instead of my normal black I painted the whole thing in white. Added some texture with heavy gesso and then dry brushed with pink and teal paints and then went over the whole thing with iridescent medium.

I realized the first pics I uploaded were blurry so have uploaded more.

I have a friend with a beach condo and itโ€™s decked out with wicker furniture and pastel furnishings. It reminds me of that condo, the 80s, and The Golden Girls.

Man I love this! The colors are perfect. The teal really gives the piece the look of patina. And the pink reminds me of the inside of a shell.
