Original artwork description:

I love painting octopus. They are fun, interesting, and lissome. When painting them, I can really express myself in their color, shape, and personality.
Octopus are symbolic of agility, grace, flexibility, and change.

“My paintings are full of light, color, and whimsy. With each painting I invite the viewer to share with me the joy I find in life. It’s simple, I want my paintings to make you smile!”

I build acrylic paints up in layers using brushes (and occasionally my fingers) to create a luminous painting that glows from within.

I use 0.5 deep wrapped canvases and paint the edges, giving the painting a contemporary look that does not require framing. However it can be framed if you wish. Painting is ready to hang.

Paintings are signed on the front.
