Regenerate
Why regenerate? Shazam I cannot wait to share with you.
But first, if you’re new here, welcome! Each week I share a painting, sketch or study. My hope is that what I draw or paint might delight and inspire you. Sign up here to receive these colorful painting posts in your inbox.
This Week’s Painting
We found this faded, beautiful lobster claw on a beach walk earlier this summer. I have sketched it, pondered how to best paint it, even looked up lobster info.
Among many fascinating facts, I learned that lobster’s “limbs” can regenerate (slowly). Oh my what a beautiful metaphor for today’s time. Even though I realize we first have to navigate our way through the current mess we (in the US) are in. I am inspired to think that regeneration is in our future. You can see glimpses of that in the faded red and white stripes of the painting around the lobster claw.
Since this is a study (painted on a top of another painting) I am selling it for $100. Just contact me here if you’re interested.

Lovely painting of the lobster claw! You captured its shape so well. Man, I wish I could regenerate parts of myself! That would be fantastic. Unfortunately, not much regeneration going on in my part of the world. xoxo
