under the sea

Lunenburg Lobsters, acrylic on canvas, 12"x12"

This is my first illustration friday contribution, inspired from a 'lobster crossing' sign Stewdawg and I found on our honeymoon in Nova Scotia. We were walking along the boardwalk in Lunenburg, loving the water, the boats gently rocking against the docks, the heritage buildings painted hues of blue, red, yellow, purple, etc. This caution 'lobster crossing' sign gave us a laugh and reminded us to take deep breathe and enjoy how much more relaxed the lifestyle is out there. These lobsters are as colourful as the characters on land out there!

No comment about what we ate for dinner in the nearby restaurant that night!

Love your approach to this theme! I did something similar with the IF theme 'Spotted' a few weeks back on my small art blog.

i just read the juried show saga, and while i have no words of wisdom, i do have words of praise: the red painting is stunning, and i thought so from the moment i saw it as your 'photo' on your blog site next to your name. and although this saga is swirling in the air, some good karma may float down and land on you, even if in the form of patience, persistence and determination in dealing with this! good luck, and take care!
