Bring the playful curiosity of Allie and the Crab into your home with this open edition fine art print. Inspired by a dog's irresistible curiosity, this piece captures the moment Allie cautiously investigates an unexpected little crab. Full of personality and humor, it's a reminder that some of life's best adventures begin with simply wondering, "What's that?"
 
Like all of my alcohol ink paintings, I never begin with the animal. Every painting starts as an abstract alcohol ink background. Only after the colors and shapes have formed do I search for the hidden subject, then bring it to life using 99% isopropyl alcohol, Q-tips, paint brushes, and alcohol ink markers, creating a realistic animal that emerges naturally from the abstract.
 
Carefully reproduced from the original artwork, this print preserves the rich colors, intricate details, and luminous qualities that make the painting so captivating.
