I've been working my tail off with lobster photos (pun intended). After 4 hours of slaving over this one, I'm finally pleased. This is out of cam, no post.
Thank you, Howeird. The local garden centers don't sell slate, so I purchased scraps of Colonial stone (green/brown), then headed to the Home Depot to find the perfect shade in latex paint. Scrubbed, and painted the rocks!
That Lobster Rocks hey there was a song back in the 80's (Rock Lobster) yea you are way too young to remember the B 52's, besides we are taking about a gorgeous piece of art you have made here almost looks like selective coloring in PP in that there is such a strong contrast between the Lobster and the rocks, beautiful work
P.S. Rock Lobster is in regular rotation on my iPod. I was born in '82. Too young to experience it then, but I have an inherent attachment to it now. I'm all too familiar with the culture, music, art world and frivolous, excessive approach to it all. I love it!
