A cactus we have on the back patio grew a extra hear, then doubled it! It seems rather ambitious for such a small plant. The spikes were done in siennas (PBr7/PR101), with the greens in perylene green (PBK31) and touches of yellow. The clay pot was easy, iron oxide red, which is the same pigment they use when making clay pots. I tried to make a portrait of Cilei on her smartphone but it didn't work out, so I did this one on the back. The red flowers are the geraniums.
