The little crab

The Little crab

oil on panel

8x8 inches

Last week on my morning walk at Manasota Beach, I saw this little crab. It was not running away like crabs normally do. It was just sitting, with some seaweed on top and observing me. So I had enough time to get a good shot with my camera. I have tried to catch this special moment.

What a sunrise

oil on panel

9x12 inches

What a start in a new day.

Here in Florida there is one sunrise greater than the other. Every day I feel another excitement wathcing the cloudy skies with its colorful sunrises and sunsets. Three days ago I watched the early sunrise, first the dark and then this shift into a pinky sky with a lot of clouds covering the sun, until the sun has won and the clouds were gone
