Blue Crab - 8" x 10" - $150.00 SOLD

This was painted from a photo of a blue crab sitting on the ocean floor. I did another blue crab painting prior to this one from a photo of a crab on a dock and it didn't turn out as good. I think that it was because the poor thing was just flopped onto dry land by a fisherman and it's legs splayed out awkwardly. I kept feeling sorry for it and wanted to paint the next one in its natural environment. It has much more dignity and grace in the water.
