Starfish by Coastal Artist Kristine Kainer

Starfish
Oil on  Gallery-Wrapped Canvas
24x24


Did you know that starfish can lose a limb at will as a defense mechanism?  Did you know that they can also regenerate limbs after a loss?  Wouldn't it be amazing to have that kind of "technological know-how" in the world of medicine?  The humble starfish--I am in awe....

This is my second favorite
shot from the trip.

This heron seemed to be waiting
oh so patiently for the
fisherman to bring in
the fish and
give him breakfast!

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.

Sand Dollar by Kristine Kainer

Oil on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas
20x16


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.

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.
