Mussel Be Christmas | Original Coastal Christmas Oil Painting

Mussel Be Christmas

Who needs a pine tree when you have an unreasonable number of mussels?

Mussel Be Christmas is a one-of-a-kind 9 × 12 original oil painting featuring a Christmas tree built entirely from deep blue mussel shells, topped with a bright orange starfish and sitting beside the sea at sunset.

It's coastal Christmas without the beige seashell decor—colorful, playful, painterly and just a little strange.

Deep blues and violets sit against turquoise water and a dreamy pastel sky, while loose, visible brushstrokes give the piece the texture and character of an original painting.
