This is a painting of the American or Common Oyster. It is 5 x 7 inches on canvas panel. Oysters are bivalves. Bivalves have no bones or head! In order to hold themselves together, they grow shells. I have written an article about oysters and other bivalves that appeared in the March edition of The Breeze Magazine of the Lowcountry. Six of my paintings illustrate the article.
