News series FeatherFest 2015.

This is my favorite shot from the trip.
My friend gave it the title
to submit it for critique
by the photography teachers at the program.
They loved the story it told.
I do too!

The title works for both the men fishing together,
as well as the pelicans fishing with the men.

avoiding the gators!

Creating a new series to showcase

some images I took at FeatherFest 2015

in Galveston.

My friend and I were there 4 days,

and it was overcast and rainy the whole time!

It made photography quite a challenge,

but all the birders seemed to

still find the birds

they were looking for

during the big migrations

through Texas.

Sand Dollar by Kristine Kainer

Oil on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas

40 x 30 x 1.5

Purchase Information

This sand dollar was found while beachcombing near Galveston, Texas. In folklore, these skeletal remains of sea urchins were thought to be the lost coins of mermaids. I wish I had known that when my daughter was younger and the world was filled with magic and wonder!

Blue Crab by Kristine Kainer

Oil

10x8

SOLD

This gorgeous creature was caught off the waters of Galveston. We were fortunate enough to be on the docks soon after the catch arrived. We selected half a bushel, headed to our rented beach cottage, and--with plenty of Old Bay-- had a mouthwatering meal that evening.

Commissions welcome.

This painting is a second birthday gift for my dad, Lt. Col. Peter G. Scharf, USMC-Ret. It is a companion piece to my previous post of a clam shell. Dad is now enjoying both in his home in Florida. Happy Birthday once again, Dad!

Oyster Shell by Kristine Kainer

Oil on Canvas Panel (Museum Grade)

6x6

SOLD

Another oyster. Another delicious meal last month--slathered in cocktail sauce, horseradish (can anyone find "Gold's Horseradish" in their supermarkets? I MUST HAVE SOME!), and the squirt of a lemon. Briny goodness....

Sand Dollar by Kristine Kainer

Oil on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas

20x16

Purchase Information

With temperatures already in the upper 90s in Central Texas, my thoughts turn to the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells of the beach. Oh, to feel the sand between my toes! Alas, this painting helps me dream.

Oyster on the Half Shell by Kristine Kainer

Oil on Belgian Linen Panel (Museum Grade)

6"x6"

Purchase Info.

This little gem of the sea was served to me at The Deckhand, an oyster bar in Round Rock, Texas. Fresh from the waters of Galveston, I had to immortalize its luscious beauty prior to devouring it with a squeeze of lemon and horseradish. The other patrons must have thought I was insane as I took pictures galore before allowing anyone in my family to touch the platter! (My family, of course, knows the routine.) By the way, it was delicious....

Gulf Crab by Kristine Kainer

Oil on gallery-wrapped canvas

24x12
SOLD

As an Eastern Seaboard resident, I was well-acquainted with the exquisite blue crabs from the Chesapeake Bay. Their delectable meat, kissed with Old Bay seasoning and dipped in vinegar is an incomparable eating experience. Imagine my surprise one year upon visiting a local crab house in Virginia and finding out that the crabs were flown in from Texas!

Now a resident of Texas, I dearly miss my Atlantic coast, yet I am grateful for the bounty of the Gulf of Mexico. Every time I visit Galveston, I pack my personal supply of Old Bay and hit the wharves in search of this culinary treasure. It's almost like being home again....
