Ghost crab 2010

12X5
acrylic on canvas

I so love these guys - and it takes such patience and a really great lens to get a good photo --
but I finally got to see some amazing details (still bragging on the Nikon Coolpix P100)!!! I think he'd love that he was so big in my painting. The biggest ghost crab I've ever seen was about the size of my palm. But then -- maybe - under the sand - the mother of all ghost crabs reign! I'll have to keep looking.

It will be two years this November since I started this blog

It's been two years in November since I started this year blog -

soooo - I haven't painted daily - but weekly has been pretty good - most of the time. Often far more than weekly. In the summer, in the Outer Banks I paint almost daily - there are just so many images here that inspire me to put paint on a canvas. It's such a visually exciting place.

It's also a place where I have more time - even though I've gone back to work as an OT - I still have far more times here in the summer.

To anyone reading this - thanks so much for looking at my work. To all those who send comments - and encouragement - I thank you for being on the cheering squad - it helps more than any of you will ever know.
