From one extreme to another. Day 21 was too light. Day 22 is too dark. Tomorrow’s piece oughta be just right. This is a totem pole cactus. They are lumpy and bumpy. They are smooth, no spines. I simplified the shapes. I may go back and add a few shadows to indicate lumps. I might also wash out some of the heavy colors in today’s background. It does remind me of the intense desert heat. I guess I should call it a work in progress. Opinions are always welcome. 🙂

I revised Yesterday’s painting. I like it much better now.

    Such interesting plants you have found to focus on Sheila. I agree that the background of today’s piece is too dark and I really like the change you made to yesterday’s piece. Isn’t it nice that we can make changes to paintings?
