“Parrot Head”
New Mixed Media Art Painting
Sharon Cummings
2014
I really couldn’t resist naming this guy “Parrot Head”. After all it is both, literally and figuratively. And I do live in paradise close to margaritaville. I’ve got tropical shirts and a hammock. I just need to turn on some Jimmy Buffet tunes and I can convince myself that it is 5 o’ clock somewhere. 😉

No not “those” kind! But now that I’ve gotten your attention, let’s take a look at this strange looking ocean creature. Crabs are decapods (ten legs) crustaceans (their skeleton is on the outside) and arthropods (they have segmented legs). Interesting FACTS:
If a crab loses a claw, it will grow back.
Males grow one larger claw. It’s purpose is to impress female crabs rather than for attack or defense.
A crab’s teeth are in its stomach.
Crabs can be carnivores, herbivores, or omnivores.
Crabs can also be cannibals and will sometimes feed on weaker crabs of the same species.
There are 6,793 species of crabs divided into 93 families.
King Crabs are not considered true crabs. Neither are Hermit, Porcelain, or Horseshoe Crabs.
We began on a light note, so we might as well end on one too. 🙂
Man walks into a restaurant and says, “Do you server crabs here?”
The hostess replies, “We serve everyone. Have a seat.”

Maybe this post isn’t as tantalizing as “Girls Gone Wild” but us artists do have a tendency to let go sometimes and just create without boundaries. I love painting fish and birds with a tropical flair, but I usually know in advance that I will be painting them. This piece titled “A Rare Bird” is one of those pieces that seemed to paint itself. I just started slinging paint and lo and behold a bird appeared. I love these moments in creativity. I’ve learned to just go with it….It’s a wild ride!
