Dancing crab canvas

The red crabs are attached to the canvas using strips of plastic. When a breeze blows across them they dance, representing the shimmy red crabs do when they shake their eggs into the ocean.

This next piece in my Indian Ocean series was very difficult to design - mainly because I was trying to keep the same style but with stones and water added into the background instead of just leaves. It took me two goes and I'm still not 100% happy with the mossy rocks.

I struggled a bit with some of the colours and patterns in this piece. Thank God acrylic is such a forgiving medium to work with - I repainted one leaf several times.
