New release! Crabs in a bucket by Dennis Mathewson

2009-07-09T12:01:00.000-07:00

Dennis just released another killer original painting titled"CRABS IN A BUCKET" it's a play on the old term "sour grapes" Its also was a classic tale of how all the Dads and Grandpas here in Hawaii teach the young keike to fish on the beach park and canal walls all around Hawaii. It plays on when one does well it seems that other try to bring them down. Just like Crabs in a bucket when one tries to get out the others pull it down. Here you see one tiki is catching a fish and the other is getting caught trying to get attention, he he.

Such is life.

This was a unveiled on fathers day at the Pearl Harbor Navy Exchange and now is located on Maui.

This original art is 22"X 32" and available at Diamond head gallery.

Limited edition prints are also now available.
