Dusky Octopus

Octopuses are so intelligent, they are one of the most entertaining residents of the coral reef. Here is one creating patterns and textures on its surface to camouflage itself.

The painting is quite impressionistic and has rich deep tones, glowing yellows, oranges and blues and greens, applied with blocky brushwork. Painted on a stretched canvas, with the sides painted grey-purple, this painting is ready to hang or can be framed by the collector for a more finished look.
