Temperature-Controlled Crab Sandwiches

Oil on canvas. 40 cm x 50 cm., I did 6 versions/attempts! - including one in watercolor! This is the one I prefer (the least worst ;D). Looking at it now, I think, wow, I would like to try again - but 6 is enough. Feel I learnt some things, as usual. Thanks Richard.

Comment by Jon Main on May 31, 2013 at 4:39: Thanks, Ngaire - lot of seaweed + rubbish from the coffee shop - not good for swimming??

Comment by Ngaire Lincoln on May 30, 2013 at 13:31: Great reflections, looks so inviting.

Comment by Jon Main on May 29, 2013 at 4:05: Hi, Warick - nice to hear from you. I ain't so sure about the sharp crispness at all! - I want to develop soft edges pretty well everywhere I reckon - gives more 3D and more mood - and is how the eye works?!?

Comment by Warick Hearn on May 28, 2013 at 10:58: I love the sharp crispness of the work....very nice

Comment by Ningning Li on May 25, 2013 at 12:40: Excellent light effect and colour harmony. Your painting is such a fine work and everything is in good order. Lovely. Very well done!!!

Comment by Jon Main on May 23, 2013 at 4:02: Hi, David. I find time in even just 10 minute chunks - it's an obsession, I'm telling ya'!

Thanks, Dor. Temperature-controlled is me being silly - relly it refers to what I'm trying to do with the paint rahter than any sandwiches in fridges that restaurantr may have ;D.

Thanks, Jess! Looking forward to seeing yours - I know it'll be interesting!
