I've been taking a drawing course over the last few months, learning to do portraits of people and animals, but I've been neglecting the fossils. So I figured it was about time to do at least a recent shell. I've also been experimenting with pastels, so it's colorful this time instead of just black & white.

From the album: Sketches
A recent shell from the Pacific Ocean. Soft pastels. -
I generally don't collect recent shells unless by chance I happen to see a nice one lying on one of the beaches that I might visit on the odd holiday, but the other day I couldn't resist finally bidding for one of these on our favorite website. I'd been thinking on and off for a long time about getting a recent one for comparison with my fossiliferous ones, and besides, they just look plain beautiful. Nautilus pompilius
