Sharon Stone Is Learning How to Paint While in Isolation—and She’s Got at Least a Basic Instinct for It

Celebrities are using their time
while social distancing to pick up all kinds of new
hobbies.

Chrissy Teigen is learning
to latch
hook. Cardi B is trying
her hand at human
bowling. And apparently Brittney Spears is now a
socialist.

For her part, Golden
Globe-winning actor Sharon Stone is learning to paint. And it turns
out she has some talent. Maybe.

You might even say she has a
basic instinct for it.  

The movie star took to Instagram
to show off her first effort: a portrait of a yawning,
impressionistic pink flower on paper. It was from a
paint-by-numbers set—but still, there’s a lesson here for us
all.

“It actually looks like
something, which I find completely remarkable,” she said in
an the Instagram
video.

Then she added a little
quarantine advice for us all: “You can do something you didn’t know
you could do while you’re at home, not knowing what to
do.”

Thank you, Sharon, for your service.

In a career that’s spanned four
decades, Stone has starred in dozens of films and TV shows,
including Basic
Instinct (1992),
Sliver (1993), and Casino (1995).

With her newfound hobby, she
joins an increasingly long list of celebrities who have turned to
art, including Brad Pitt, Jim Carrey, Lucy Liu, Adrien Brody,
Sylvester Stallone, Val Kilmer, James Franco, John Mellencamp,
Anthony Hopkins, and many others.

Tragically, Stone has not
responded to Artnet’s DM. C’mon Sharon. C’mon.
