Lobstah II, 4x4 Inch Acrylic Painting by Kelley MacDonald

$65 & $10 S&H

Ohhh.. this little guy was a 1 1/4 lb lobster... we usually get the 1 1/2 lb, but they were out, and it turned out this guy was sweet, sweet, sweet!  Don't you just love the reds in the shell?  Here's looking at you, kid!

Bully Lobster, 6x6 Inches, Oil

SOLD

We had lobster Sunday to celebrate my daughter's boyfriend's birthday.  It was a really nice day, and, chicken-heart that I am, I left the actual COOKING of the beasts to my husband.  I ventured into the kitchen right after they went 'in', and heard a bit of knocking on the pan - I ran out of the kitchen faster than I thought I was capable!  They cooked one for me to paint, as I don't eat them, and then he became part of a pasta dish.  I had a lot of fun with the drawing of the lobster, and then I just had a blast putting brushloads of green paint on, in slightly different shades, for the background.  I love my life!

My husband says I always seem to paint lobsters looking angry - now I ask you.. have you ever seen a HAPPY looking lobster after he's been cooked????

Christmas Cove, 8x8 Inches

I am a little technologically challenged here at our retreat in Maine!  I have to drive into the Post Office parking lot to make a call from my cell phone, and make a 1/2 hour trip to the closest wi-fi.   I just loved this little painting I got done the other morning.  The light was perfect and it just seemed to flow.  I don't sell the paintings I do on these trips, they are way better than postcards.

It's like a girls' camp here.  We paint, we read, we tell stories, and eat very well!  We are all lavishing attention on 'Maurice', as we call him (better than 'Hitler, regardless of the mustache!), who literally 'laps it all up'.

Everywhere I look is a painting.
Oh, yeah, and I was almost eaten by a lobster - they're BIG up here!

**forgive me for not responding to comments or emails - I have no internet connection and have to drive a long way to get one....I'll be home soon!**

You Want A Piece Of Me? Acrylic 6x12

This painting came as a result of a friend requesting a 'crab' painting. I know, I know, but I'm not familiar with crabs - yet! He/she looks angry, but that's probably because he's been boiled! There's a blue lobster (mascot) where I get my groceries... maybe I'll paint that one, too.
