A Sanibel Bench

I finally realized that I have never posted a picture of the bench that sits in our front entry.
Sooooo,here it is-------
These are close-ups of the paintings that are on the seat.The first is a painting of the sand dollars,Michael,the Elder,found when he joined me for a week on Sanibel,two years ago.I just placed them on the bench,traced around them,and painted away.
This is my salute to Gary and Tootie.Notice the orange scallops and pink tellon and coquina.

You are quite the artist. I though those were shells sitting on the bench. I had to look at larger views.
