"Remarkably Bright" Limited Edition Fine Art Print

This archival giclee fine art print is of an original watercolor painting called "Remarkably Bright" featuring the Gulf-native Caribbean Reef Octopus living in its natural, rocky habitat. However, there is a nearly invisible danger that commonly gets entangled on marine wildlife: the 6-ring pack soda can holder. Samantha created this painting to showcase the human-induced challenges that marine animals face in the wild regularly, even when we don't witness it for ourselves. However, she also highlights that we have the ability to make a positive change by being conscious consumers!

This painting is a sister painting to "Deceptive Drift" of the green sea turtle and look phenomenal together displayed on a wall.

In this second edition print release, there are only five 8"x10"prints available. 

All prints are made with high-quality watercolor paper, and are printed with archival, museum-quality ink. Each print is hand numbered, named and signed by the artist. 

It took a full 3 and a half weeks for Samantha to complete this incredibly detailed, yet whimsical painting. She primarily used Winsor and Newton professional series watercolor tube paints (as well as a few Daniel Smith tube paints) on cold press, acid free, 300 gsm Strathmore watercolor paper. 

Samantha will ensure pristine delivery via a well-insulated, sustainably-sourced mailer. These prints also come with a hand signed and dated Certificate of Authenticity with gold detailing.

Any watermarks on the photographs used in this listing are purely to ensure that someone (or AI) does not steal the artwork illegally. The watermarks do not exist on the actual painting. Also, the images used in this listing are not high resolution and don't live up to the actual painting.

This painting is one of many that were created for a children's book titled "I Can Save the Planet" for the non-profit organization, Raptor Center of Tampa Bay. The book is set to release in 2025! Stay tuned! Also, 10% of profits will go directly to the Raptor Center to aid in the thousands of birds and animals they help rescue and rehabilitate each year.
