Large Shell, Two Smaller Shells

Both - 5" x 7" watercolor pad, colored pencil, Aug. 15, 2012

"Sea shell from the Tee Pee Tavern. Tracy had set out a tray full of shells on the bar, to decorate for the annual luau. I drew the largest, about 3 1/2" in colored pencil, trying to get the proportion of the spiral, and the mottled texture. The two smaller shells, approx. 2" I drew with a different color pencil.
