Great pacific

Occasionally, I want something a little different.

The Great Pacific Octopus is much larger than most other cephalopods.

I love them though.

The textures and colors they can achieve are astounding.

They are also fun to paint!

This one was particularly interesting because of the detail cuts necessary to create it.

Today found us going to church of course in the morning.

We then went to the grocery store to pick up a few things.

After that, we headed home.

I needed to work on the dinosaurs today, but the heat was very oppressive.

Temperatures in the 90s but feeling much more warm.

Not a fun way to spend the afternoon.

Chris suggested we wait until evening, so we did.

Much cooler, especially with the fans running.

This freed up my afternoon to go to the studio.

I painted this octopus and worked on the trophy for the Summer surge.

The trophy is turning out really well.

It was also made much easier to construct using an old lamp and a globe that spins.

Adding paint, a triceratops, and other elements make for a really cool trophy.

This VBS is so fun for my creativity.
