Cactus Monday (#46)

Acrylic on canvas ATC paper. I wasn't too pleased with the outcome of this. Guess I like to work with watercolor better..... Happy Cactus Monday!

  1. Good morning to you and Happy Cactus Monday Marianne:)
    To me, it's very beautiful!
    I love all the style and colours here.
    Take care and i am very proud of you that you explode on new medium.
    If you are comfortable with watercolour, go ahead.
    But never stop you exploring!
    Creative creation and happy days!

  10. it's also beautiful to me, the bloom is so wonderful and the base and background provided an enhancing contrast for the bloom.

  11. I'm sorry you aren't too pleased with it, I think it's beautiful. I've not used acrylics but I think it would be fun to try all different mediums. I just need the paycheck to back that up!

  14. Okay, an orchid for a cactus!

  15. I love the flower part of this more than the 'body' but it's still super. I know how you feel when you're not happy with something though.
