The Maine Thing


Today's painting began early this morning on my porch, and I just had the inspiration to get one done as it is June, and I really want to start painting as many mornings as possible.  And sitting on my cart was a great photo of this blue crab, so there I went. I've painted many crabs, but not one this small, but people tend to love them because they go well at beach homes and small special areas of any home.  This small piece is full of texture and rich color.  Let me know what you think!

Love the crab! You should do this for your next painting class at the Ledges!

Olivia, that's a great idea--someone else mentioned doing a Paint Night with a crab theme too! The July Ledges one is still in the planning. Keep a look out. Hope you can make one!

My friend Jamie and I would love to paint a crab. We've been talking about another crab painting you did a while ago and how fun it would be to paint it. Can't wait for the July class info to come out! I'll make sure Susan has us a spot!
