Day 9 - Cactus

Today's entry for the naarmamo National Art Making Month challenge is another go at WPA style. I drew one of my cacti because it was fairly undemanding and I really wasn't up to much. :-(

[Edit] Now with black background too, which looks better. Thanks to thetisonline for the suggestion.

Cactus Variations

I tried for five colours, but I ended up using seven.

My NaArMaMo 2008 Gallery is here.

I think you succeeded at the simplicity.

Very arresting.

What does it look like on a black background?

Such bold shapes and clear bright colours, this is lovely.

I like it

The cactus is lovely, but I think the front of the box needs to be a little darker. The red part is particularly well done though.

Very striking. I like it.

Oh, yes, that's very striking. It's difficult to simplify things and still retain their individualism, but you succeeded admirably.

That may be our browsers. It's fine on mine. THe pot is actually white so I wanted to use a pale grey.

Thanks.

Actually, pretty good! I like that better. Good suggestion

Thanks! I've done it with a black background now and prefer that.

Thanks. :-)

Thanks. :-)

Thanks.

thetisonline suggested a black background which works much better. I've got both variations up now.

Thought it might show up the pot better.

I like these postery ones!

Thanks! :-)
