Octopus

SOLD | $15 print | pastel pencils | 9x12in I wanted to capture the grace, beauty, & complexity of octopi. Ominous, they dwell in the depths of the ocean & hide darkness, but when they emerge, they do so with stunning grace & elegant slow motion, gliding, twisting, and furling through the water.

Sea Lion
