It wasn&#8217;t the shell so much as the little&nbsp;ripples in the beach itself.&nbsp;As the tide goes below normal low, these quiet&nbsp;muddy beaches become exposed to us, showing all sorts of stuff not commonly seen. One of the most interesting parts of them, to me, are these&nbsp;little swales set up by the gentle wave action. These are only about 12&#8243; apart and an inch deep, and they clearly show the soft wave energy in where normal &#8220;surf&#8221; is about 4&#8243; high. Trough, hill, trough, hill &#8211; and on into the beach. It makes for an interesting subject to paint. In an hour, this scene was gone from view, covered by the next inbound tide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ORIGINAL painting is varnished acrylic on stretched canvas, 8&#8243; x 10&#8243; and $100 unframed.<br>A nice hardwood&nbsp;frame makes it a total of $130 and shipping adds just a bit more depending on your zone or if you take the frame.
