Miniature Maryland Blue Crab – Chesapeake Classic
Bold, briny, and full of character, Miniature Maryland Blue Crab – Chesapeake Classic is an original watercolor print by Cheryl Zapata, celebrating the spirit of Maryland’s coastal heritage. With vivid shades of sapphire, aqua, and deep indigo, this iconic blue crab —its claws raised, its shell shining with the colors of the Chesapeake Bay.
This beloved crustacean is a true symbol of the Eastern Shore. Printed on archival Palo Duro Etching 315 paper, the richly textured cold press surface enhances the layered washes and crisp outlines, making the crab feel almost ready to scuttle across your table. Framed in a white distressed 3.5" x 4.5" wood frame, it’s a lively tribute perfect for crab lovers, Maryland natives, or anyone with salt in their soul.
As with all of Cheryl’s coastal artwork, this piece is rooted in meaning—created in memory of her late brother and dedicated to raising mental health awareness through art that celebrates both life and legacy.
Each 315 gsm print is crafted with care—vibrant, local, and exclusively available at CZapataArt.
