About the Artwork

This food still life painting has a sense of humor. A cooked octopus sits on the rim of a tall white ceramic bowl, its rust-red arms draped over the edge and curling down onto a sea-blue table. Every suction cup is built up in thick paint, and the curled tips of the arms coil like little spirals across the tabletop.

Emory Thatcher painted it with a palette knife, laying down broad, flat strokes of cream, lilac and pale yellow for the wall behind and cool blues for the table. The octopus is the only warm thing in the room, so it pulls your eye straight in. Up close you can see every ridge and scrape of the knife.

It's for the cook who loves seafood, the friend who orders the grilled octopus every time, or anyone who likes food wall art with a little wit and a lot of texture. It also suits a seafood restaurant decor scheme without looking like a menu board.

Hang this canvas wall art above a breakfast nook or open shelving as kitchen artwork, or go big as large dining room wall art over a sideboard. The blues and creams settle easily into coastal kitchen wall art arrangements, and the warm octopus keeps it from feeling cold.

A week-long canoe trip through the Boundary Waters in 2009 taught me to see water differently. The way morning light hit the lake surface became an obsession I'm still chasing in every painting.
