Spiky but soothing but spiky

This one gets me. From afar it looks to me like ballon animals. Up close it’s clearly some seriously spiky cacti. This painting is our reminder that perception is in the eye of the beholder. Take out your granny’s contact lenses and she’ll be hugging this sweet pack of docile rhinos in no time. What would a two year old, a ten year old, a forty year old do in the same situation? Food for thought, inspired by some spiky ballon animals.

This piece is part of the “Made in LA” series, inspired by the canyon we called home and birds of paradise outside of bedroom windows. It’s about the cacti and yucca trees dotting the mountains and the sharp blades of grass my little brother would pluck to make lizard traps in the summertime. We were made in LA, and so were these paintings.

Professionally framed in a gallery quality solid maple floater frame.
