Cactus Monday and EDM # 141 Draw Something with Bristles

Turns out I painted the little ones that don't really have bristles or maybe when they grow up they will? Staples gel pens and watercolor in Raffine sketchbook.

Anyone know what type of cactus this is? Are the small ones at the bottom a different type? Its about 8 feet tall! I try to stay away from them.

I don't know about the little cacti at the bottom or maybe the cactus grows better where you are. It looks a lot like some we call Cholla (as in choya) cactus but I'm not sure.

Great job on the "little ones". They seem unusual. Colors are beautiful.
