I am enamored with the colors, patterns and movements of octopi. This painting is part of a series that explores these patterns with depth and different color combinations. This composition focuses on a couple intersecting tentacles, the folds of the skin between suckers flattening out into pattern elements. The background is an active blend of color and line that infuses the composition with incredible energy.
