Description My first real attempt at abstract art! It's an octopus (although most people I show it to don't really see it! )

I-a like-a my contrast, no? ...No? Okay, well... I at least tried!



Acrylic paint, Tempura paint, Fabric Paint

If it's an abstract painting, you don't really have to recognise a subject. I like it, the way it's painted and the colours

I always find it easier (because abstract painting really doesn't come easily to me) to focus on a subject and build off of it, instead of just painting, so I generally try to come up with an idea for it and then paint around that, instead of just letting the painting come out by itself, ya know? I dunno, I just can't seem to make it look right if I start painting randomly!

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate the comment!

Haha! I'm glad you could see it! I guess maybe I should call it "Lucy in the Sky with Octopi" if you think it looks like the Beatles!

Thanks for the lovely comment, though! I really appreciate it!

love the contrast. I see what you mean about it being an octopus. At first I thought it was some weird spacey alternate dimension though! Also, I love the white design above the octo's head

...I think you're the first person to see the octopus! Thanks! I'm glad you like it (and that you can actually see it!!! That makes me SO happy, cause everyone thinks I've lost some of my marbles when I try to describe it!)
