My Third Audubon Seashell Collection
These card size paintings in pastel and watercolour are being used as a card series for Audubon Stores, this is the third series I have created for them. The backs of the cards have a complete description of the shell and its habitat.

My sea shell cards are in book stores, gift shops and stores through the South East, Caribbean and Hawaii.

Many people frame the cards as they are on a very heavy gloss paper stock, archival, suitable for framing.

Most of these shells in the collection are found in the Caribbean, Florida & East Coast, California and Hawaii.
A wonderful place to look up your favorite beautiful shell http://www.blogger.com/goog_1499547105

Everyone loves sea shells and has special memories of a vacation spent at the beach. I look forward to hearing from all seashell collectors. Please drop me an email and share with me  your collection.

These are available in cards for sell and small glicee prints on my web store.

Tuscany Sunflower Study Pastel Phyllis O'Shields Florida Artist


Tuscany Sunflower Series VII


Pastel 12 x 16 without mat
Canson Mi-Teintes
Phyllis O'Shields Contemporary Impressionism
copyright 2011 PO'Shields

My Inspiration: Last of Summer Sunflowers on the back roads of Tuscany.
When visiting Tuscany each year I paint Sunflowers, Lavender and Olive Trees.
Each Tuscan Sunflower is different with it's own personality, thus I usually sketch en plein air
the one that jumps out at me.

There is nothing more beautiful than the Tuscan fields of golden sunflowers surrounding a golden rustic house with a terra cotta roof.
These are views that I use in large paintings, but for the sketching en plein air there is always one sunflower among the many that calls out to be drawn.

I will be posting over the next few weeks series of these plein air sketches.
Bravissima!

Bermuda Ferry Crossing Seascape Oil by Phyllis O'Shields artist contemporary impressionism

Bermuda Ferry Crossing Foggy Morning
Oil  24 x 30 inches on canvas
Seascape a very foggy morning with rough water
Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressionism

This painting was stared en plein air on a ferry ride crossing  in Bermuda.
I left from St Georges, Bermuda where I stay every year in a beautiful villla.
Every year a few weeks are spent painting in Bermuda.
A great day is always spent loading the moped onto the ferry along with the painting supplies and a picnic lunch.

The Sea Express ferry service is operated by the Bermuda Government's Department of Marine and Ports. Phone 295-4506. These relaxed sea routes are unequalled, a superb sea or harbor crossing in unrivalled scenery, much better than going by bus on overcrowded and perpetually noisy roads.
 They are far more ecological than a bus, with daily or weekly or monthly passes included in the same price as the buses, and far less expensive than a taxi. The only extra charge is for cycles or mopeds. All places to stay, cruise ships and the ferry terminal have copies of the ferry timetable at no charge.
 
Unlike the buses, ferries to and from Dockyard and St. George's (see below) can take wheelchairs for the disabled. The Paget to Warwick ferry will take the walking disabled. They also take cycles or mopeds. 
From Hamilton, they serve Paget, Warwick, Somerset and Dockyard on a varied daily basis (see timetable) and St. George's on Wednesdays and Thursdays from April 18 through November 2 only). They do not operate when the weather is too windy.

Panama City Beach III Gulf Coast Series Oil by Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressionism



Panama City Beach III  Gulf Coast Florida
 Oil Painting on Museum Wrapped Canvas 16 x 20
Tropical Seascape & Dunes Series
(can be framed or left unframed, painting extends around edges)
Painted en plein air
Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressionism
Club 47 Daily Entry


Paintings in this Panama City, Florida Dunes Series are the first of three for larger paintings. You can see the sea oats, dunes fences and sugar white sand. The most beautiful white sugar sand is in this area of beaches.

These are common beach paths used for many years. Over the years the dunes in this particular area have become much smaller. I will be adding paintings of beach areas where the dunes are very large later. I was born and grew up in this area of beaches and have a love for the Gulf Coast area that still influences me today. I hold yearly workshops along this beach area and we have great fun painting en plein air.

Development along this coast has destroyed much of the beach so it is really important to capture in paint the beaches as they are today and yesterday. I spent most of my childhood here on this beach. My love for tropical settings and colours was initially inspired along this coast.

Tahiti Sunset Oil Seascape by Phyllis O'Shields artist contemporary impressionism


TAHITI SUNSET


Oil Painting on Linen Canvas 24 x 36
by Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressionism
Painted partially en plein air

Tahiti is a mystical place at all times of day. The colours change constantly, the intensity and brightness of the colour is very difficult to believe when translated to canvas. I look forward to many more paintings of Tahiti capturing the mountains and water at different times of day. Truly a paradise.

16 x 20 inches on gallery wrapped canvas

Key West on a clear day, early morning invites one to just hang out and enjoy the view. This was painted en plein air on such a morning. Of coarse I sat down and enjoyed the breezes after the painting was finished.

Key West Storm Approaching Original Oil by Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressionism


 
KEY WEST STORM APPROACHING
Original Oil painting 30 x 40 inches
Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressionism

This painting was done on location before a hurricane reached shore. The emotion of incrediable cloud formations and the smell of an approaching storm was overwhelming.

The location here was being scouted for an outdoor painting workshop at a later date. The majority of this was painted en plein air. Studio work was required to finish the painting  due to winds that were to high to maintain the canvas stability.
