The Octopus

Blog_octopi_1

by Susanne Iles

Sometimes a creative thought bursts out from the most unexpected places. I dreamed an undersea dream and woke up thinking, "So ugly, it's beautiful, that curious cephalopod." (I actually thought the word "octopus" but isn't cephalopod somehow more poetic?")

There is just something about the lowly octopus that delights and dazzles. Shapeshifter, dancer, a living kaleidoscope of colour! How could an octopus not tickle the imagination?

Susanne, I love your 'cephalopody creation'. Her face is beautiful and their eyes are scary and alien-like. You've a great imagination.

I love the painting, what a wonderful image, its looks like so much fun!

Thanks to all for their wonderful comments! Sometimes it is great to play, isn't it?

The whole painting is fantastic - I love the floating princess.
