Working Small

I was asked to paint a small cactus for a Christmas gift this past weekend.  "No sweat," I thought!  HA.  I was wrong.  This has been a tough project and I wish I hadn't used such a dark background.  However, it's finished and here's the result.  







Drama
Watercolor on paper
12" x 12"  

I realize from this painting that I like working on large paper; that the big cacti paintings are more dramatic and effective.  While I am not thrilled with this piece, it has given me an idea for a large one.
