What Has 3 Hearts?

Posted on September 1, 2015 | 25 Comments

Charlie O’Shields at Doodlewash, sent me a couple more abstracts that he recently did in watercolor!  Here is one of them:

Charlie's Abstract - before

I enjoy the challenge of finding images in abstracts!

Here is what I found immediately in this one:

Octopus in Charlie's abstract

An Octopus!  Did you know they have 3 hearts?

This discovery made me want to learn MORE about octopuses!

So I sketched one in my art journal and looked it up on Wikipedia to learn fun facts about this – Cephalopod:

Octopus sketch in journal

I see a future doodle that is currently swimming around  in my head!

Thanks Charlie for the inspiration!  🙂

Happy Creating!

    I love octopi! They are so smart and have beautiful movements. Love the one you found in Charlie’s abstract piece!
