Flowering Cactus Along the Road

Based on a Taschen book about the Neue Sachlichkeit, most of the painters from this time made still lives with cactus. I recently completed one myself (six months ago). I was at Home Depot the other day buying a cinder block for a future still and saw that they had larger versions of these grafted cacti. I might have to pick one up.

I am not really sure if a painting will come out of this current batch of images, but for right now I am liking what I am getting. The one below is a bit of photoshop trickery—punching up the levels and saturations, et cetera.
