Pollock: Octopus

Original hand painted in watercolor, gouache and india ink on acid-free watercolor paper.

Part of the Artist & Animal series, the artist of influence for this piece was Jackson Pollock’s.  As sea creatures go, the octopus is one of the masters of camouflage.  Painted with splatters that go in around and on top the octopus, its spotted qualities help to hide him in the chaos of lines and dots.

Medium: Gouache
Size: 7×12 inches, unmatted
