You picked crabs on newspaper at your grandmother's table, mallet in one hand, Old Bay under your fingernails. That is the crab in this painting. Deep blue shell with tiny dark speckles, mint green legs, claw tips going orange, all of it in soft watercolor on off white canvas. It comes gallery wrapped with the hangers already screwed on the back, so you lift it out of the box and it is on the wall in five minutes. Hang the 36x24 ($129.99) in the hallway and the first person who grew up on the bay will stop walking. One buyer said it brings him right back to his hometown in Maryland.
