Seashell Painting - Bay Treasures - 45x58cm

Bay Treasures by Australian pastel artist Desley Stewart is a beautifully detailed pastel painting that celebrates the timeless ritual of fossicking for shells along the shoreline. Each shell, collected from Australia’s Central Coast, has been rendered with extraordinary realism, showcasing their natural textures and subtle variations.

The artwork invites you to relive the quiet joy of long beach walks—sunlight on the water, the sound of waves at your feet, and the thrill of discovering small treasures left by the tide. It carries with it a sense of nostalgia, calm, and connection to the coast, making it a meaningful piece for anyone who treasures seaside memories.

Created with soft pastel on Pastel Mat, this original work is presented in a high-quality timber frame with a double mount and anti-reflective glass. At 45 x 58 cm framed, Bay Treasures makes a striking centrepiece, bringing warmth, serenity, and a touch of coastal charm into any home.

This artwork is part of Desley Stewart’s Seashell Collection, a series of five highly detailed pastel paintings that together celebrate the beauty and diversity of nature’s coastal treasures. Collectors may wish to pair Bay Treasures with others in the series for a striking and cohesive display.
