Sand Bugs for B-Bug
July 27th, 2007
We visited Toby’s brother in Newport yesterday and naturally, since he’s related to Toby, he took some awesome shots of Bug and I at the beach. Baby Bug’s Uncle George is a lot of fun. He caught some sand crabs for Baby Bug and she thought they were great. What’s not to love? They are BUGS! And they have wiggly little legs and they live at the beach….I think she would have popped one in her mouth if I hadn’t freaked out and nearly lost my breakfast.
I hate sand crabs (and all exoskeletal creatures for that matter). They are neat little creatures and I appreciate the wonder of their under-the-sand life with their little feelers eating plankton and such.. But REALLY, to me, they are just beach cockroaches. Ick! Baby Bug wanted me to hold her’s really bad. She kept following me, holding out this wiggly little bug and I had to run away screaming. Silly Bug.
In other news, I painted another painting:
It’s coming along. I’m running out of places to keep them all!

I am SO with you on the gross factor of exoskeletal creatures!
ICK!
Glad that BB loved them though :-)

She is such a cutie!
Do you sketch your doggies first and then paint or do you freehand? (I am not an artist, but I wish I was)

Cute baby bug, cute painting, and great new design on your blog! Love it and wish I knew how to do that sort of stuff…I’m completely jealous.

Another great shot of BB. J brought me all kinds of treats at the ocean this year. To keep him happy I took photos of them instead of touching them. I never thought of them as beachy cockroaches before!
Your paintings are really starting to stack up!!

Because I, too, have a Baby Bug, I had to comment. Yours is adorable. Mine is running around the house in a life vest right now. It is her favorite outfit.

I love your paintings. I have 5 dogs, so I’m a bit of a fan of all things dog. I’m glad you’ve found a new passion. You’re taking your art to a whole new level. Will you be selling any online?
SAJ says: eventually but not until after the show.

Those are beautiful pictures of Baby Bug. And your dog paintings put such a smile on my face. But this one, this one with the doggy in her undies having a cup of wine…Hee hee hee!!! LOVE IT!
