"Treasures From the Sea" Original Oil Painting by M. Ashley



They are treasures from a summer at the beach. The old Blue bottle has the sand with the tiny shells, pieces of sea glass, rocks and and the dried sea fish that is forever preserved. If you happen to be on the beach at around 6am, as the tide is going out, you will find treasures like this waiting for you! On one trip to Gasparilla Island in Florida, the shells were knee deep in places.

"The Treasure Box" Oil on Gessoed Hardboard 8x10"


A little tin box with a little boy's treasures from a summer filled with wonderful finds. The box is an old tin box with chipped paint. There are two marbles a broken Robin's egg, and a tiny basket that Gramps made from a walnut shell. Inside is a small glass jar, a rock from a camping trip on the river, and other mysterious wonders.
