Oddly enough I found an old 5x7 version of this piece that I left the background very light and obscure. That small version worked much better! I always appreciate insightful critique.David Forkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02898697283440524262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867810752247757788.post-1335462757676820722011-06-22T19:32:58.530-05:002011-06-22T19:32:58.530-05:00Hi David - I like this one alot!

For me, the problem in both paintings is the large tree/bush on the left- it just takes away or competes with the cactus, which are beautiful and would stand alone great. Sorry to be critical, because I really love your work!Martha Cowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06388627187889776410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867810752247757788.post-72112785933752420432011-06-15T04:43:29.648-05:002011-06-15T04:43:29.648-05:00Ahh backlit cactus, very nice.
