A rough first pass, but we will get there.

A rough first pass, but we will get there.
"Octopal" - 6"x24" - acrylic and paint marker on gallery depth birch panel.
Done up originally for the art party in June 2026 at All City Barbershop. Just an artistic freedom octopus in the colours I was feeling.
Still available if anyone is interested.
Did a little Procreate study of this tiger beetle I photographed a few years ago on the NCC Lime Kiln Trail not too far from where I live.
Going to be painting this in acrylic for a show coming up in November, after I fix a few issues that I can see!
FOUND!
A beloved purple velvet octopus with silver lamé eyes on an ocean colored fleece pill box ski hat I sewed for my spouse while dating. It was lost while moving # tucked into a box of that hasn't been opened in about 5 years. Making thrift store donations when it resurfaced #invertart
