Artist notes: I had been scrambling around on the sandstone reefs looking in the tide pools while a gentle afternoon tide came in. This is when I spotted the most perfect arrangement of shells and wee stones twisting lazily on the surface of the water. I had seen floating shells before but never arranged as perfectly as this! There is something satisfying and intimate about taking such a small subject and painting it large.
