Salebration

Sold the Blue Horseshoes at the Abbey show, along with two other paintings and a print. Although the big daddy original is now gracing the walls of a beach house, I do still have prints of this available in various sizes.

I really had fun with this piece and might do a few more studies of sea creatures along this line.

Sea creatures and insects... I think I could draw and paint them exclusively for the rest of my life and never get bored.

Maybe I need to do a large scale version of this? A nice 4' x 8' painting of the Horseshoe crab mating ritual that takes place on Slaughter Beach in the Delaware Bay during the June full moon. If you've never seen the masses crabs covering the tideline you are missing one of natures amazing sites.

FYI Horseshoe crabs are harvested and "bled" for use in medical testing. Their blood is used to test injectables for contamination. Almost everyone in the U.S. has benefited from or is in some way dependent upon the horseshoe crab. We need to protect and appreciate these amazing, ancient creatures.
