Banded Tulip with Dog Whelks
Dog whelks are found in the inter tidal zone, the area of the shore covered and exposed by tides. They live all around the coasts wherever there are barnacles, oysters, or mussels. The banded tulip is also a sea snail. In England, whelks are considered tasty and very popular. An average whelk has 137 calories, 24g of protein,, .34g of fat and 8g of carbohydrates. (Not for me–I’ll stick with peanut butter and crackers!) For more information about this painting, click here.
Barnicles, Tiger Cowrie Murex & Scallop
More seashells!  I love the brown, rust, white and tans of these different shells. This is an 8 x 8 canvas panel. Cowrie shells have an interesting history. For hundreds of years they were used as money in parts of Africa. Slave traders used cowrie shells to trade for human slaves. In the 1680’s, a slave cost 10,000 shells. In 1770 the cost for an adult male slave was 150,000 cowrie shells.

Atlantic Ribbed Mussels
The Atlantic Ribbed Mussell (Geukensia Demissa) is featured in this painting. Mussels have been killed by an alien species, zebra mussels, which were brought to the United States from Eastern Europe. The zebra mussels killed our native mussels by holding their shells closed to stop them from taking in oxygen and food. Mussel murder??? For more information about this painting, click  here.Â
