Audacious Rose Oyster I past-work

Audacious Rose Oyster I past-workAudacious Rose Oyster I is an original oyster painting by Tara Caswell bold, glamorous, and unapologetically joyful. Set against a fabulously vivid pink background, the oyster is rendered in oil with layered accents of shimmering metallic gold, silver, and pearl white, building a surface that catches and holds the light. A touch of iridescent glitter adds a playful sparkle that makes the painting shimmer as you move past it. Painted in oil on gallery

it is intimate in scale and generous in feeling

where light filters through layers and time slips away

the work invites close looking: lush botanical forms

and saturated with the kind of blue that only the South Carolina coast seems to produce

Medium: Charcoal

Artist: Tara Caswell

Framed dimensions: Approx

rendered with a painterly looseness that is both timeless and deeply contemporary

I placed it under glass in an ornate vintage silver wood frame

The canvas sides are painted in rich metallic gold

Inspired by: Charleston

and a piece of layered beauty
