Happiness is a shell in your pocket….(wall art!)

and sand in your toes.

I was inspired by our trip to Coronado to draw a shell. I also saw this picture at the Hotel Del.

 

Tatum also has a wall filled with my art. She is a fan who is easy to please, so I figured she’d love a nautilus shell.

This was the picture I would draw

So, I started….

And used over 20 colors!

It’s coming along…

Then you cover it all with white pencil and reapply color

Honestly, it took me months to complete this shell. It was much harder than I anticipated. But with much sweat and a few tears, I completed!

I framed and gave to Tot.

It is so rewarding to see her enjoy it.
