Still Life with Shells 1640 by Balthasar van der Ast
This month's challenge painting is so evocative and reverberates a time past era when painting was how we saw parts of the world we would never know otherwise. All these shells have a story to tell of beaches in far away lands and tropical havens.
This month several of the Art Bead Scene editors were inspired to take the challenge of this painting so I have put together a blog hop for you to visit to see how this exotic still life of seashells inspired them. What creative fellow team members I have!!! Enjoy feasting your eyes on what they have made.

I love the fact that everyone interpreted the challenge painting so differently! That's the beauty of creative inspiration - it's so personal, and such an expression of who we are. Everything is absolutely beautiful!
Was working to the wee hours on my new limited edition Tide Pool Treasures Symbol beads using this color palette. No pictures yet though! Off to see what you all made! Enjoy the day. Erin
