Jeanette Lindblad lives in Lilburn, Georgia and has a passion for drawing and painting.  She likes to use different materials and methods on her work.  She did attend a few classes for a Commercial Art Degree, which she unfortunately had to drop due to family issues.  Most of her portfolio works are 5-10 years old.

“This is a collage created from an original pen and ink drawing with the background digitally altered.”

 – Jeanette Lindblad

As stated above, the artist first created the piece from ink, then had the background altered digitally.  The piece is now a digital collage that can be found online.

The “Red Octopus in the deep blue” drawing skillfully captures an interesting organism of the sea.  The octopus here is drawn in red, contrasting against the blue of the sea all around her.  The arms of the creature are shown at different angles and views, elaborating on the two rows of suctions cups that are located underneath.  The artist uses swirls throughout the background of the drawing, perhaps to emulate the tips of the arms.
