Crabtastic

Crabtastic

9" by 12" original oil on wrap around canvas with 3/4 inch sides painted.

I just loved the colors of this crab and went to town with that palette knife! I did this piece in two stages. Most days I finish a painting all in one day but recently I have been working back and forth a bit more and seem to be busier than ever. I have many fond memories from my college years and when I lived in Baltimore and would spend my weekends down at the Naval Academy. A bunch of friends and I would head over to the local seafood place where we would order dozens of crabs and beer and sit for hours eating and talking and having a wonderful time. My mouth is actually watering as I write this. I have had crab quite a few times since then but somehow the experience has not been quite the same. I don't know if you have to be in Maryland or just in your twenties but it sure was awesome!

Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay

Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay

6" by 6" original oil on artist board

Not only are these crabs tasty...they really are pretty colorful and fun

to paint.  I am sure this one was quite happy to return to his buds in the water after his picture was taken.  This little painting would look adorable on a little easel or hung in a grouping of paintings.  The back has a place for a nail to rest in making it easy to hang.   

Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!  Thanks for checking in with me!
