The Richter Scale^®

Well, my talented wife, Linda Richter, has just finished yet another artistic masterpiece - an oil painting entitled Octopus Blooming:

Here’s what she has to say about it:

Sinuous and amorphous the octopus slips over the ocean bottom. Sometimes smooth and pale almost transparent, it can suddenly switch to roughly textured, deep red color and opaque.

This one curls in a shape like the blossoming of a flower – the trumpet of an underwater lily.

The original is 20 inches wide by 36 inches tall, oil on canvas, and features a smokey bronze metal canvas floater frame.
