{"product_id":"blue-crabs-original-oil-painting","title":"Blue Crabs - Original Oil Painting","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"450\" data-end=\"777\"\u003eBlue crabs have long fascinated me for their vivid coloration, complex structure, and the way their forms shift between strength and delicacy. In this painting, I was drawn to a grouping of crabs caught in a moment of stillness—overlapping forms that reveal layers of shell, limb, and color interacting within a confined space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"779\" data-end=\"1078\"\u003eRather than focusing on a single subject, the composition explores the relationship between multiple crabs and the visual rhythm created by their arrangement. I worked through layered brushwork to capture both the texture of the shells and the subtle shifts of light moving across the stacked forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1080\" data-end=\"1324\"\u003eThis original oil painting is presented in a handcrafted floating frame made from stained poplar, built in collaboration with my husband, a woodworker. The frame is selected to complement the painting while keeping the focus on the work itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1326\" data-end=\"1583\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1326\" data-end=\"1337\"\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original oil painting on canvas\u003cbr data-start=\"1369\" data-end=\"1372\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1372\" data-end=\"1388\"\u003eCanvas size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 x 20 inches\u003cbr data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1406\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1406\" data-end=\"1422\"\u003eFramed size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 x 22 inches\u003cbr data-start=\"1437\" data-end=\"1440\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1440\" data-end=\"1450\"\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handcrafted floating frame (stained poplar)\u003cbr data-start=\"1494\" data-end=\"1497\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1497\" data-end=\"1514\"\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/strong\u003e One of a kind — original artwork\u003cbr data-start=\"1547\" data-end=\"1550\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1550\" data-end=\"1567\"\u003ePresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ready to hang\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1585\" data-end=\"1645\"\u003eEach painting is signed and carefully packaged for shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Impressions By Maureen","offers":[{"title":"$3500.00","offer_id":54111985140022,"sku":"ORG-BC-16x20-F","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0849\/6454\/0726\/files\/IMG_5682_2f7e8da2-258e-41c3-8af7-6959a0f0c45b.jpg?v=1780687385","url":"https:\/\/impressionsbymaureen.com\/products\/blue-crabs-original-oil-painting","provider":"Impressions By Maureen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
