Octo-lady and her "Friends" original is graphite on tan-toned paper,  6x8". 
Octopus are amazing creatures, magical and mystical. To the point that it is said that they may be aliens. I believe they are incredible creatures of God, here to intrigue us, as do so many of the underwater inhabitants. I find women to be just as intriguing! As a woman I am sometimes in awe of some of the things that I can do, and I am definitely in awe of the women I read about or have known in my lifetime. Talk about blending in, and camouflaging oneself! That is something women have done since, well forever. We adjust, “fix” ourselves to become  what is expected or needed for survival in many cases.
