Last summer I went shell hunting. Today I finally found a home for some of the shells. All the shells - clam, oyster, sand dollars, hermit crab - are from the Oregon and Washington coasts.

Now Marcell the Shell is home.

My silk painting, "She Wondered What Was Holding Her Back," shipped to a gallery soon after I finished. Immediately bought a private collector, who I recently found out "has left us."

Woman running along the beach with an eel wrapped around her ankle and gold fishnet swirling around her. Blue and green water, purple and pink sunset.

A near complete <dead> white sand dollar lays on a wet sandy beach. It is missing a slim chip near the base.

Did you know a sand dollar is an animal? They're a species of sea urchin. #sanddollar #wildlife #nature #animals #wildlifephotography #travel

Sand dollars are part of the Echinoidea class & the Phylum Echinodermata, & are related to sea stars & sea urchins

A round shell, held in the palm of a hand. The top is shaped with an etching like a flower pedal, 5 lobes in the center. It is a sea shell, a sand dollar, hollow now ,but one had a living creature inside. Only certain sandy beaches have them.

I used to find #SandDollar #exoskeletons on many of our beaches. Over the past 12 years or so, I see much less of them. From what I read they are not yet endangered but it seems their numbers are declining. I often find #fossilized sand dollars after stormy weather. Read more in my reply below.

This is my watercolor and ink painting of my study of a sand dollar that I was inspired to paint after finding these on the beach in Florida. fineartamerica.com/featured/san...

I could share some photos I took today! That would be nice. Hang on…

These are just some of the treasures I found on the beach this morning.
