Floridian still life with fossilized shells

After doing mermaid paintings, I found a need to paint reality.

The shells are local Floridian, I found them in my backyard, the dark seaweed like grass in the background  is a fallen dried palm leaf, there are also some pink and red bougainvillea flowers. I was trying to achieve a sense of depth and calmness. I hope people enjoy it as much as I do.
