Congrats to our winner! A bit more effort is required to make a painting than to quickly add some Photoshop effects I think, so it is a well-earned win.
All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti
A cactus and succulent collector who especially likes Ariocarpus. …Though I have a bit of everything! Want some pictures? See my flickr! I also do art and such.
Thanks to everyone who voted. Creativity comes in all forms and this is demonstrated when I see the posted gardens, greenhouses and the photography. As for my art, I paint oil medium and mainly paint landscapes. I started painting with my Mother many years ago and had to take a hiatus while raising the kids. I paint for my enjoyment and a way to de-stress. If people start enjoy my art, I may have to change my personal style, and lose an ear.
well, as a voter in this contest, I voted for the oil painting because like Daiv said, it takes a lot more effort. I am not trying to be mean, playing with photoshop and other programs is fun but, It's pressing buttons, not making artwork
Good job Cactushobbyman,
you wanna paint some Opuntia for me?
Here's to you, all you insidious creatures of green..er I mean cacti.
