CRAB ON IT'S BACK, after VanGogh,10X10, OIL

Several years ago I studied the Masters, along with members of my paint group.  We spent several months on the works of Degas, VanGogh, Manet and others.  We read their life stories and did our best to duplicate their paintings.  We ended up with quite a collection of paintings which we exhibited several times and one of our group, Cindy Michaud, put together a book about the experience.  This is probably my favorite of the paintings I duplicated.  The fun of this one was the distinctive brushwork which I tried my best to duplicate.

SANDCRAB, 6X8, OIL, SOLD

Every time I go to the beach, I find these little guys scurrying around.  This one didn't seem to mind posing for a picture, although he did show me his claws several times.  I had quite a problem getting all his legs in the proper place.

I have been in San Francisco for the past week and now find that I am very far behind on my computer work.  I want to thank all of you that were kind enough to leave a comment on one of my postings last week.  My dear husband was very good about publishing them for me.  I am not sure I will get around to answering each one, but please know that I have read them all and, as always, I am thrilled with each and every one.
