Under the watchful eye of “El Pulpo”!

I’m sprucing up my home office, starting with a little wall decor, as you can see in the photo above. I’m now working under the watchful eye — and arms — of “El Pulpo” (Spanish for “the octopus”).

Here’s a closer look at El Pulpo:

El Pulpo is a creation of a local artist, Maykel Medina, who creates gorgeous ocean- and seaside-themed art, all of which you can find at his gallery, Maykel Fine Art, in St. Pete:

If you like beach themes and artwork you’re not going to find anywhere else, contact Maykel (the gallery is by appointment only)!

He’s got a lot of gorgeous stuff, and he was very friendly and helpful, making sure that El Pulpo was safely wrapped up for us to take it home. I’m sure that El Pulpo won’t be our last purchase there.
