This painting tip toes up quietly, lures us in, and then stings. The soft plump sensual forms of the cacti invite, but the sharp rusty barbs give warning. Pick these blossoms at your own peril! Dark diagonals that shape the cacti, punctuated by the rusty wire, carry the eye on a repeating cycle through the narrative of this very satisfying painting. (Judge comment)
