Dreams of an Octopus - Oil on Canvas

Dreams of an Octopus - 16" x 20" oil on oval canvas.
Vivid orange octopus with background of butterflies and vines. I was contemplating the intelligence of Octopi and was curious how they’d react to being in a forest and the wonder of seeing a butterfly for the first time. I wondered if they dream and if they dream about beautiful things, so I painted it.
