Crab Attack


Here's a painting from last summer's vacation on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. I'm endlessly fascinated with repeating shapes and have taken many photographs of the porch on which this painting is based. When I took the photo, my feet were in the picture and that seemed like a different kind of painting, but the idea of putting the crab in the composition came as a flash. I didn't think, "Oh, what else can I put in this painting?" The crab just popped into my head.
