Octopus vs Ship : Seven of Nine, original mixed media painting

Octopus Vs Ship : Seven of Nine (Mimic Octopus)
mixed media on 8 x 10 inch canvas
frame made from reclaimed lobster traps

Rescued from storage among hundreds of out-of-vogue replica painting, I gave this these original oil painting a fun make-over by painting in a Thaumoctopus Mimicus octopus “playing” with a passing ship. 

Framed made with reclaimed wood from lobster traps I beach combed in Nova Scotia.
