I had this idea.. a prickly pear pad, up close, personal and large. Meh. It wasn't such a cool idea after all. After I spent an entire day in the studio on it, I was pretty disgusted. This piece put me into a week long funk. I threw it into the reject drawer of my flat file and figured I'd cut it up and make a book cover with it sometime. Or maybe dance on it just before I burned it.
Poor Ugly Cactus 24" x 18" Watercolor on paper |
I pulled it out today to get to a piece of paper that was under it and decided that there are parts I really like in this. The texture is fun. The colors are, too. I may keep it. It would work as a triptych as well. You never know..

I like the color transitions especially from bottom to cactus. The texture, shadow or depth of the patty is also very nice.
