Marcellus Octopus Acrylic Painting

This gallery wrapped unframed 20 x 20-inch acrylic painting titled “Marcellus”, features a vividly colourful octopus, its tentacles adorned with intricate circular patterns in a wide spectrum of hues, including reds, yellows, blues, greens, and purples. The viewer is invited into a playful world of underwater sea life. The octopus is set against a deep, dark ocean background, creating striking contrast and depth. Other marine life elements,  the seahorse (Mavis) and a clownfish (Marvin), add additional charm character and movement to the composition. The painting’s vibrant and whimsical design highlights the octopus’s graceful motion, making it a captivating underwater scene. The inspiration for the painting is the octopus character depicted in the wonderful book by Shelby Van Pelt; “Remarkable Sea Creatures”.

The painting is sealed with resin to create a protected durable glossy viewing surface. The painting hangs from wired D-rings on back.
