Earlier in the fall, the kids and I went clamming on the Navesink River. We had a great time, dug up a nice batch of clams and made linguine and wine clam sauce later that night. I saved a few of the clam shells and yesterday I used them to to make two still life paintings. Here they are, along with a few pics from the day of of clamming and a link to a short clamming video I made with my friend Peder on the clamming flats.
If you’re interested in these paintings, or would like to talk about a custom piece of artwork for your space, please email me at jon@jonpeters.com
Here’s the first painting and the square frame I made
Here’s the second still life painting of the clam shells….the blue and purple colors are really vibrant
