This is "Grumpus". He's my grumpy old octopus with folded arms and a stubborn demeanor. The siphon sticking out from the side reminds me of a cigar. He's like that grouchy old guy on the street who yells at the kids for walking across his lawn or swinging on his tree branches. He's a little scary at first but once you get to know him and crack that outer shell you realize that he's just a big softie inside. He's a reminder to dig a little deeper and get to know each other better, because in the end we all just want to love and be loved.
3 HIDDEN HEARTS....
Did you know that Octopuses have three hearts? Yep, its true! Its one of my favorite things about them. As in all of my octopus paintings, I've hidden 3 hearts in each design. Can you find them?
2 HIDDEN LADYBUGS....
Each of my original artworks have two hidden ladybugs (which represent my kids) hand painted somewhere on the side of the canvas.
