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).

Oysters on the Half Shell Lazy Susan

Oysters on the Half Shell

14-inch Diameter

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!
