Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs Lazy Susan


Acrylic on Handmade MDF (Furniture Grade) Lazy Susan
14-inch Diameter
NFS

Yesterday, you saw my oysters on the half shell Lazy Susan which I made for my father's Christmas present.  Today, Mom's gift takes center stage.

I grew up along the Eastern Seaboard, thanks to my dad's military service.  Though I now reside in Texas, I am often homesick for the delicious fresh shellfish that was in abundance for most of my life. As a sweet reminder of our time near the Chesapeake Bay, I painted this Lazy Susan for my mom.  (Actually, this was originally for Dad--sorry, Dad!--but I struggled painting all those crustaceans and Christmas loomed.  I switched his subject in order to ship in a timely fashion.) Thus, Mom has the crabs (the Lazy Susan crabs, that is).

Commissions welcome!

Oysters on the Half Shell Lazy Susan



Acrylic on MDF (Furniture Grade) Lazy Susan
SOLD - Commissions Welcome

Last year I was commissioned by the wife of the CEO of my husband's company about painting a couple of fruit Lazy Susans.  After much research and occasional hair-pulling (these were new waters for me), I completed the project and was smitten with the results.

Well, my parents were smitten as well.  For Christmas, they each got a coastal-themed Lazy Susan.  Above is the one I did for my dad.  These oysters will never spoil!

Commissions welcome!
