The shells of the Jonian sea

 

The shells of the Jonian sea


 

I've been walking on this beach, bathing and swimming in this sea thousand of times and I've never noticed how many kinds of shells I could have found here, when I decided to draw in March some sea subject on the sketchbook of Dianne. 

 

I got the occasion to go to Apulia and when I was there, I went to the nearest beach to my house. In few minutes I collected just 16 different sorts of them :
(Difficult was not to draw them but to find their names, because there are thousands of species with many of them showing similar look)

    Wow - these are very impressive...such fine detail. Imagine one finding all those different ones at the same beach. Thanks for sharing.

    Love this Giovanni, can almost hear the waves breaking on the beach... and the colours are marvellous. What a clever Golden Boy you are :)
