This blue crab painting on Hampshire Sea Defence Timber has been hand-painted in acrylic paint on beautiful piece of wood that has some stunning markings as a result of years out in the elements by the Hampshire coast.

This original blue crab painting measures 19cm (w) x 18.6cm (h) x 5.5cm (d). This painting is wide enough to sit on its own on a windowsil, side-board or shelf. Alternatively it can be hung on a wall. This blue crab painting on Hampshire Sea Defence Timber would look beautiful in a kitchen, lounge, bedroom, hallway or conservatory and would make a lovely, unique gift for a nature-loving friend or family member.

I only paint wildlife on wood as I love using wood as a natural and sustainable background to my artwork. Much of the wood that I work with is reclaimed and therefore has some beautiful markings and character that deserve to be preserved and celebrated. This is a one-off piece of coastal bird art and having been coated in a flat matt varnish for protection, it should stand the test of time and can be treasured for a life-time.
