It’s finally done!! 🤗✨Octopus 🐙 Acrylic Painting 🖼

It’s the last day of OCD Awareness Week and this piece really resonates with me. Having my own struggles, sometimes I get “stuck” and I sure got stuck on this painting. I painted through all moods, and sometimes I was there painting my octopus with tears welling in my eyes. This detail & that. Stuck. Lost. Stuck again. Ready to just give up and throw out the peice! My boyfriend lightly mentioned I should just take a break, and so I put it away for a while and focused on new works. Once in a better mindset, I came to finish my hectic, crazy, colourful octopus I now consider my “OCD Monster”. In a way, I feel I conquered it.
