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 17, 2013 at 7:23: Michael, I just used the edge of the palette knife. Gruppe and others say to drop the brush straight down under its own weight as it were (sounds risky!). Cheers.

Comment by Michael J. Severin on May 16, 2013 at 13:54: Jon, how did you paint the masts? ...I could not get mine to look good ..

Comment by Jon Main on May 14, 2013 at 4:48: Thanks, folks, fun subject!

Comment by Jessica Futerman on May 14, 2013 at 1:31: Really like the pier - nice highlights on the timber - and the masts on the boats add lots of interest - nice!

Comment by Ann Turner on May 13, 2013 at 8:34: Jon great job ! This is one of my favorites. The water reflections are beautiful, both the reflected pilings and the hint of a reflection of the boats. The masts and rigging of the far boats overlapping the building help to push it back and adds another visual plain. I also like the visual outlet of water that lets the viewer travel through and imagine what is out there. 6 is enough, you're learning is on a great upswing. :)

Comment by Michael J. Severin on May 13, 2013 at 8:34: Not too bad Jon!!

Comment by Jon Main on May 13, 2013 at 6:55: ;D Thanks, Silvano - it's a difficult subject, in fact ;(

Comment by Silvana M Albano on May 13, 2013 at 2:21: I loved the title!!!! :D .The reflections are incredible! The highlightsin the back buildings and boats give the sensation of a special atmosphere there at the background.
