Gerald Hughes '(Untitled) Lobster Claw' george bell circleGerald Hughess Untitled (Lobster Claw) is a still life by the seashore. With whimsy and texture, the artist distills a disembodied lobster claw, shell and seaweed, wistfully whistling in the wind. For beach houses or those that feel at home by the sea, Untitled (Lobster Claw) is an ode to the delights and debris of life among the sand castles.
