Cactus Fun

I don't know what to say about this painting. The canvas started out normal and as I was experimenting with some gloss gel medium, it became textured. I have washed over it with gesso at probably twice. This is an attempt of a cactus (barrell) for my cousin Linda. Since I am not talented enough to do the cactus justice realistically, I decided to do it abstract-ish. I'm positive that is not a word, but it describes this painting well.
