This painting shows a pile of lobsters in rough, uneven brushstrokes. The colors are mostly dark reds, browns, and muted greys, with some white and black mixed in. The lobsters look heavy and real, stacked on top of each other with a bit of a messy, natural feel. The artist used thick paint in places, making the texture almost pop out. This makes the lobsters feel solid and alive, even though they’re just paint. If you like this style, look up impasto.
