I Ching Shell

I really pushed outside of my comfort zone on this painting. I resisted the urge to smooth out the painterly quality and get the colors to be exact to what I was seeing. It was a good exercise for me. As for the subject matter, I've found great wisdom in I Ching or Book of Changes. These coins have been tossed many times for insight and reflection.
