Find joy and notice the delicate beauty of one of Florida’s coastal treasures with this original Buttercup Lucine artwork. This illustration was inspired by the small, sunlit shells I discover while beachcombing along the shores of Northeast Florida. Though easy to overlook, their smooth, rounded shape and cheerful golden hues make them a delightful find among the sand and surf.
Named for their warm butter-yellow coloring, Buttercup Lucines add subtle pops of sunshine to the beach. Their soft shades range from pale cream and buttery yellow to warm golden tones, making each shell a unique reminder of the quiet beauty found along Florida’s coastline.
Original Artwork
This illustration was inspired by Buttercup Lucines I found while exploring the beaches of Northeast Florida. I love discovering these little shells tucked among the sand, where their warm golden colors catch the light and stand out against the shoreline. They’re a reminder that some of nature’s most beautiful treasures are also the smallest.
Every design begins with my own photography and firsthand experiences exploring Florida’s beaches and natural landscapes. I carefully hand illustrate each piece to capture the colors, textures, and details that make Florida’s coastal ecosystems so inspiring.
Whether you’re a shell collector, beachcomber, or someone who simply loves the ocean, I hope these illustrations bring a little sunshine from Florida’s shores into your everyday life.
