Octopus Battle- acrylic/mixed media by Greg Newbold.
In this scene from Stormalong, our intrepid hero Stormy dukes it out with a giant octopus in a liquid battleground. The ship's anchor was being dragged deeper and the ship along with it. Of course Stormy dives deep, wins the the wrestling match by tying the octopus' legs in knots and makes it safely back to the surface. I posted a couple of other pieces from this series earlier and you can see them at the links below.

Very cool! Sorry I missed your presentation at the Leonardo. I heard it was great.
ReplyDeleteLove it! The colours are so rich and vivid...plus, I'm and octopus art junkie.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah
ReplyDeleteBrad, the presentation went well and I think most people liked it. It was fun for mt to show some stuff from way back as well as work from as recent as last week.
