Stone Rock’d that is…..I just cannot seem to get rid of these crabs! Â Growing up in Florida, crabs have always been a big part of my life. Â As a child I romped freely on Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota Florida. Â Crabs would often come ashore and I was completely fascinated. Â The little fiddler crabs were great fun to watch scurry about, but Stone Crabs are especially interesting because they have one claw that is significantly larger than the other. Â Funny looking creatures. Â A gourmet delight in many restaurants they are ecologically sustainability harvested here just for their claws. Â These guys can regrow their claws so when the fishermen take one it grows back. Â How cool is that! Â I found it both amusing and fitting to Stone Rock a stone crab…I love to paint and create and there is no end to inspiration on our planet! Â The shape for this crab was inspired by a vintage Stone Crab plate…..Learn more about my crab art here:
