Crab painting

August 24, 2023

Hello. I recently finished this 14x22.5 watercolor of blue crabs in a bushel. I really enjoyed pushing the colors of the crabs. My mom had painted an abstract close up of crabs in a pot with lots of reds and I like that painting and have it in my house but I tend to gravitate more to the greens and blues. My grandparents used to take us crabbing with hand lines when we were kids. Rowing up Canary Creek from Roosevelt Inlet and entering the marsh was like entering another world…a great quiet sea of beautiful green marsh grass populated by dragonflies, great blue herons, white egrets, piddly crabs, the occasional eagle in the distance. and of course the blue crabs…I think I will title this one “Hey, Let Go of My Leg!”.
