Hands of Stone

The thick claws of stone crabs yield chunks of sweet, delicious meat. These beautiful crustaceans are capable of regrowing their claws so after being trapped they are released to regrow them. I'm fortunate to have commercial fishermen and crabbers as friends so we enjoy a mess of them from time to time.  John McLean's art is inspired by the inimitable Florida Everglades. Each print requires many hours to produce. John enjoys the versatility and efficiency of a digital canvas, and the way that computer-based drawing tools yield painterly results that mimic traditional formats like watercolors, oils and pastels. His prints are quickly gaining popularity due to their unique style and bold use of color.
