Oyster on the Half Shell by Kristine Kainer

Oil on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas
12x12
SOLD

I had the pleasure of returning to New Orleans during the recent Christmas holidays.  Every day, I had at least one meal consisting of fresh Gulf oysters.  This fine specimen is just on of the many I devoured.  (Slurp, slurp.)

Gulf Oyster Shell by Kristine Kainer

Oil
20x20

There is nothing like slurping down freshly shucked oysters at the beach -- with lots of sand between your toes!  Alas, in Austin, I must sit at an oyster bar.  At least my car won't get sandy....

Making Waves by Kristine Kainer

Oil
18x24

We've all seen them:  paintings that look like they were made by a gorilla that sell for record amounts of money in the art world.  After a particularly frustrating day (and seeing some of those astronomical purchase prices via a fellow artist's Facebook post), I temporarily regressed back to the simpler days of childhood.  Using leftover paint on my palette and my trusty middle finger, I created this seascape fingerpainting.  Enjoy.
