Blue Crab

The blue crab immediately caught my eye -and isn't the blue pot a clever touch!

Then I remembered that I had seen this extraordinary species @ Watercolors, painted by the talented Laura Trevey.
Her art is a celebration of color and as she says herself, "coastal living fun"..., you've got to see it.

Very nice kitchen. I do like the blue crab. I don't think my kitchen could ever be quite that white though. To many people in it.

Great touch of color for the kitchen (and a great watercolor). Love your farm sink - is that a granite or cement countertop? (Sorry, the kitchen designer in me just has to know these things.)

That is a very beautiful crab. Can fully understand you love it. I love the ocean too even if I don´t gather that many things. But of course, I have a long way to the ocean. :(

I love the crab...especially since I'm almost always crabby on Mondays. :-) And that kitchen. WOW! Is it wrong to be in love with a kitchen?!

I,too, have a big blue crab that hung high in my last kitchen and (after the paint drys) will soon go up in my current one. Ours is ceramic and hand painted by a local artist. My husband & I found it at a craft festival and the artist told us that all who requested her ceramic crabs in the color blue hail from Maryland. As a DC/Maryland native, I was amused - guess you can't take the Chesapeake Bay outta this girl, even after a couple years of Florida bliss. So, I wondering if that kitchen's owner doesn't have some Maryland connection too?

Hello,
Blue Crabs can be hard to find. I live in South Carolina and paint large blue crabs on canvas. You can go to www.Heather-Jordan.com and see many original crabs.

Interesting that the sink is in between the windows, rather than under one.

Talking about crabs, I fell in love with a large wooden one recently, only to have the customer in front of me tell the clerk "I'll take the crab!" I'm sure my face fell to the floor.

Hope all is well.
