Stones and Shells - still life by Maddie

Maddie has a distinct style --- strong, purposeful lines and bold colour.  Presented with some gravel and sea shells, she immediately created a still life arrangement and got down to painting, never stopping until she was finished.   Notice how she portrays gravel --- tiny spots of colour densely clustered in the center around the shells, becoming gradually larger and farther apart toward the edges of her paper.
