cacti



started another 30x40 the other night. i'm getting excited about this one because my backgrounds are usually lighter in value. at first i was unsure how the colors were going to sit and react with each other. so far its worked out. i've painted cactus blooms but not an actual cactus before. being from the southwest myself, i have a nostalgic feeling for these beautiful plants.

I agree with you on how the colors are reacting to the darker value background. I think it is working well. The cacti are a great take on the your use of flowers.
