Update: Monsieur Crawfish original is SOLD.
He was the 2nd in my whimsical series titled Down at the Creek. And it is my choice for the December Original Art Special at my shop.
It all started when I went down to the creek to do a little bit of plein air practice. The idea of taking an easel out to the scenes I want to paint appeals to me, but it never seems to turn out looking like the reality of what is there. This time went even farther off course! The first painting ended up with a flute-playing pebble on top of the actual rock I painted.
So after that, I needed more characters to join the scene. Along came Monsieur Crawfish, dancing a little jig on top of another rock.

50% Off – Marked down to $75
Every month I’ll feature a different painting at this deep discount, if the original price is over $100. Most paintings will not be framed, but the varnished smaller ones sometimes will include the frame.
Newsletter subscribers that have opted into my notifications about original art available will be sent an email the day before I make the post to my website or social media, so they have an advance opportunity.
It doesn’t show it in the details below, as it shows the full price. But it’s $75 until the end of December.
Details
- 4 x 6″ watercolor paper permanently mounted on board
- varnished & framed without glass
- free shipping with frame to US addresses
