Christmas Cactus for Christmas

ellerThis is a watercolor ATC I painted for Smellabi. The profile said something about succulents, and, well... I considered the 'Christmas cactus' the most appropriate succulent for Christmas.
I had to take a photo of the finished painting instead of scanning the thing because of the (artistically questionable but certainly very Christmas-y) decision of painting the whole thing on glittery paper (Paul Rubens sparkling watercolor paper, cold pressed). The camera killed the background gradients, but it couldn't be helped. Anyway - I had a lot of fun with this. As you might have noticed, flowers are my comfort zone. :)
