Sharon Stone shared another glimpse of her love for art and painting with a new photo from her California family home.

The actress, 65, posed in front of one of her newer pieces, a huge pink canvas featuring lines and shapes in blue, orange, red, and white, and then there was the star herself.

Sharon stood for the shot in nothing but an oversized graphic tee, a white t-shirt with a Jack Skellington-esque drawing, showing off her toned legs and tugging on the side of her garment.

Describing the heartbreaking pandemic period, she told The Art Newspaper: "I lost my family – my film family – I lost my personal family, many members of my family died. My brother had a heart attack and his 11-month-old son died of crib death; my godmother died, and my grandmother died."

Sharon also emphasized that it was a way of rebelling against the system and Hollywood machine that told her to "stay in your lane," touching on the way she'd been typecast as the femme fatale sex symbol once Basic Instinct came out in 1992.
