Land snail, unidentified species from western Pennsylvania, U.S.A. This is watercolor on goat parchment.
My detailed watercolor illustration of a land snail, painted on cream-colored goatskin parchment (the pores/follicles of the parchment are visible, which is typical of goat skin). The snail has a pink-gray body, and is out of its shell with all antennae extended, just going along from left to right on the page. The shell is a flattened spiral, golden brown with dark brown banding. The shell is not smooth and shiny, but rather has a corrugated texture, but very fine. There are pale yellowish veins visible through the translucent shell, which were identified by a malacologist (that is, not me) as being the kidneys of the snail. There is a soft gray shadow depicted under the snail, to suggest that it is moving across the page realistically. Signed by Christine Hutson, 2009.
