"Shadow Telling Under The Sea" - 2024 Painting by Dakota Daetwiler
I painted this piece of a whimsical scene of a mother octopus tucking her kids into bed while reading them a story. Who can't relate with this in some way? The fun part is, octopi make very little sound and mostly communicate to each other through gestures and changing colors. I thought this was the perfect opportunity to create an even more in-depth imaginative experience since the mother octopus could not be reading her book to her kids, she must act it out for them using a lantern and shadows on the cave wall.
I hope you enjoy this painting!

Traditional Canvas Print (Signed)
High quality inks and materials, these are the most popular. Canvas prints are hand stretched over wood by Dakota and look the most like traditional art. These take approximately 5-8 days to create, plus shipping time. These usually arrive at your door in about 2 weeks. Canvas prints come hand signed by Dakota with a card that has the name of the artwork and the date your canvas was created.
These will retain value the best out of any print options of her work.
Flat Photo Print (Signed)
Printed on high quality thick photo paper, these come hand signed by Dakota and ship the fastest. They will need to be framed before hanging as they are a flat rolled print. They are the most affordable option.
Dakota makes both of these prints in house, these are not made by some big box retailer. She makes sure each one is hand crafted with care, from the making of the wood frame (for canvas), stretching, stapling, signing... all done by her! The photo and canvas prints are made in her house on her 44" commercial giclee printer with high quality pigment, museum grade archival inks. She takes the time to make sure you will get the highest quality print possible.
