Blue Crab (Framed)

Crabs should never be underestimated they symbolise defensiveness, change, growth, resilience and self-reliance. They are the most adaptable creatures that you can find on both land and sea. If they skitter across your path it means maybe it's time for you to change direction and head off on a different course in life.

As in other settings, the Native Americans viewed the Crab spirit as tied to the moon, our emotions, intuition and the waves of life. The crab totem pole means 'go with the flow' and I am sure most of us can relate to all of these in life.

Capturing this amazing little sea creature in blue watercolours, adding texture and fine ink makes this little fellow stand out. They are also the star sign of Cancer. They're primarily known for being emotional, nurturing, and highly intuitive, as well as sensitive at times.

Framed and ready to hang but can be reframed as shown in the display thumbnail. Painted for the lovers of sea creatures.

Welcome! I enjoy painting a diverse range of art at my Blue Mountains Studio and Gallery drawing inspiration from the stunning surroundings and its abundance of flora and fauna. My aim is to inspire and bring joy, taking the ordinary and enhancing detail, light and form.

My animals are expressive and quirky at times and my landscapes evoke a sense of tranquility. With delicate, layered brushwork they lend a sense of vitality and depth.

Beginning my art journey in 2008 I started with fantasy watercolors that soon became a channel for expressing my emotions, leaning towards light in the darkness. I quickly became a prolific painter experimenting with different mediums and painting a variety of art, and it felt like I had finally met my inner, creative spirit. My dream of owning my own studio/gallery became a reality in 2012 and to this day I still enjoy meeting and selling to many art lovers.

I participate in a range of group exhibitions, when I can, and have held a variety of successful solo shows. I'm very honored to have gained a number of awards over the years, winning the prestigious Rose Lindsay Art Prize at Blue Mountains Art Fest and won First Prize at BMCAN's NSW Parliament House Exhibition for 'Winter in the Blue Mountains', along with People Choice Awards and Highly Commended. I'm delighted that many of my paintings continue to be held in private and public collections worldwide, along with commissioned art products.

Thank you so much for taking the time to view my art.

With my very best wishes

Linda
