Venus - Cameo

4“x 4” original acrylic painting on a cradled wood panel.

An etched and painted shell, in metallic gold and pale pinks. Lots of texture. The sides are painted in differing contrast colors.

These are small pieces- meant to hang in clusters, nooks, be set on shelves, and act as jewelry for your gallery wall.

I started referring to these as mermaid portals casually, after I painted my first one to style in my own home.

Inspired by classic nautical iconography, wax seals, ceramics, and painted tiles. I love how they look mixed with other styles of art.

All paintings are impressionistic and perfectly imperfect- there may be some texture or metallic accent paint that doesn’t show in the photographs. Each painting is finished with a satin varnish.

Signed on the side and back; the sides are painted to add interest and about 3/4” deep. The wood panel can hang on a nail, or stand alone on a shelf.

Unless there is a damage or misrepresentation, all sales are final. Thank you for all your support!
