"Cactus Kisses" Art64 2025 Round 2 Original Painting

"Cactus Kisses" – 20"x16" acrylic on canvas
Painted live in 1.5 hours during Round 2 of ART64 2025

Built on layers of chaos, color, and texture, Cactus Kisses is all about bold resilience and unexpected beauty. I went big with this larger canvas, letting palette knife swipes and vibrant color do the talking. Bursting blooms and spiny strength collide in a piece that’s equal parts grit and bloom.
