A painting which has surreal elements as a beautiful and bountiful, babe that must be  somewhere in the region of 36-24-38 (and that's one hell of a region!) She reclines upon the surface of the sea which appears to be floating just above sea level.

Venus was blown ashore riding a crimson shell and landed in the white laced bay on the shore of Poole Harbour. Her statue was carved in marble and then the arms fell off. Now we all know about Venus.

Venus riding a shell is blown onto the foreshore of Poole Harbour with Brownsea island and Corfe Castle in the distance
