Lenny's Cousin "Blu"

   I'd like to introduce another member of Lenny's family, Blu. Apparently the blue American lobster numbers one out of two million lobsters.
I started very wet, with aureolin, quin. burnt orange and a bit of quin.  pink.
I had to mask the entire form before I did another wet "drop in the pigment" wash of burnt orange,  quin. violet and a touch of indanthrone blue.
Masking off. Wet-in-wet with quin. pink [very thin] and cobalt blue.
More w/w with cobalt blue and indanthrone blue.
I did a bit of lifting to suggest light source form right, painted the antennae, did some detail work, and I think I will call it "Done".  The framable size is 11 x 9 in. or 27 x 23 cm.
