Shelby Van Pelt's Marcellus made me want to paint an octopus of my own. That intelligence. That careful observation of every person in the room. I knew the Party Animals series needed one. Orson showed up ready, party hat and all.
Orson the Octopus. Vivid, fluid, unflappable. This giclée fine art reproduction from the original oil painting captures Orson in rich, expressive color: warm coral, burnt sienna, deep amber, and soft ochre against a cool teal background.
Part of the Party Animals series of animal portraits. Orson adds a sense of collected calm to any room.
Printed on museum-quality archival paper using the giclée process, every color and detail holds true to the painted original. Matted and ready to slip into a standard 12 x 12 frame.
