This is a digital painting done free hand completely in Photoshop CS2. I used an intuous 3 tablet by wacom. I used two different Photoshop brushes to achieve different effects in order to achieve the texture of the shell. This style is somewhat impressionistic. I wanted to emphasize the bright, bold sunset colors inside the conch shell. I painted this with my love for the ocean, beach, and sand all in mind! The fascinating thing about conchs is how you can hear the ocean when you place the opening up to your ear. This painting is calling you to hear the ocean. This painting will be a part of a nautical themed series. Blog Website

This one is very much like the one my Grandmother had at her house. She would hold it up to my ear so that I could here the sound of the sea. Since those days, long ago, I cannot help but add just one more to my ever growing collection. Every time I bring one home, it is like I am bringing home my Grandmother from those days long ago. She was the maker of dreams and always loved me… All the images and text contained herein may not be reproduced, copied, edited, published, transmitted or uploaded in any way without my express written permission.

I love the ocean and its inhabitants. Whenever I find a seashell, I put it to my ear and listen. I wrote the following for the image. Put your ear to the shell / and hear the ocean’s swell. / Within its ripple and its tide, / there are many who reside. / Listen closely to all its glory / and you will hear a mermaid’s story. — / Anne Hale Featured in The Patchwork Group. Also vailable as a print. /

So there you are, deep under the waves, enjoying a couple of mimosas with your Sunday brunch, and along comes a naked lady driving a giant conch shell drawn by a seahorse. Well, it’s enough to put you off your cocktails for a time, isn’t it? Fear not (and drink up!), it’s just Marcella and her fabulous Conch Carriage out for a drive! And though she tends to dress down on Sundays, you’ll never catch Marcella without her nautilus hat. It’s been rumored that if you offer to buy her a drink, she’ll race a school of groupers for your amusement – quite inexpensive as entertainment goes. Perfect as a companion piece to Emma the Nautilus-naut. This original artwork and story are copyright Ramona Szczerba 2009.

Featured Art 23 September 2009 / The Beauty of Nature Pū is the Hawaiian name for Conch Shell. A gift from the Ocean, the Pū emerges from the life giving waters with a sound that flows across the ‘Aina ( land ) and Kai (the ocean). The blowing of the Pu, a deep part of the Hawaiian culture, has multiple uses and communicates various meanings in both Religious and secular traditions. Blowing the Pū is sometimes used before a ceremony to mark the official beginning. To blow the Pū is a call to the divine. The blowing of the Pū should always be accompanied by protocol. When it’s blown, how many times and in which directions all have a complex set of meanings. The Hawaiian cultural practice of blowing the Conch shell dates back to ancient times and continues in many present day traditions. Here on Maui as well as the other Hawaiian Islands, Indonesia and the Indian Ocean, sacred protocol surround the blowing of the Pu and define when, where, for what purpose, how many times and in which directions the Pu may be blown. When done properly, the blowing of the Pu produces a sound which can carry for miles across land and sea. This beautiful and distinctive resonance once heralded the arrival of Ali’i (Royalty), the beginning of Makahiki season, and many other notable events. Special shells are cherished and handed down from generation to generation. The Triton trumpet shell is the most common type Pu used today. Many collectors and tourist have little idea of the cultural significance and of the beautiful animal which produced and lived inside this shell. The shell’s spotted inhabitant is the largest snail in Hawaiian waters and the second largest in the Indo-Pacific. When permitted to mature undisturbed, Triton’s trumpets may reach as much as 20 inches in length. Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain.
