This is my first painting ever apart from a paint night event I went to a few years back, where we draw a mountain and a river.
I'm happy with the way it turned out; I've always loved octopuses. I think they're one of the world's most under-rated creatures, and their intelligence is misunderstood. They're also lonely animals. The mother dies of starvation as she protects the eggs for the remainder of her life, so the young octopus come into the world with no guidance, no parental figures to learn from, yet they adapt and find their way around the dark waters.
