This painting is of a local shore crab, a species I encounter regularly waking along the Jersey beaches at low tide. It is the most common crab encountered on our shores. Normally a green-ish colour, shore crabs are easily found in rockpools or on the end of crab lines dangled into shallow waters.  I have painted him in a variety of blues with white highlights reflecting the different colours of the sea water. This is painted in acrylic on canvas board, and is complimented by a simple light wood frame.

It measures 32cm x 32cm.
