cholla face inspires artist?

The first time I noticed a Cholla face, I was reminded of the painting “The Scream”, by Edvard Munch. There aren’t any Cholla Cactus in Norway but maybe he was inspired while on vacation here? 🙂

This one appears to have come in contact with some Prickly Pear Cactus spines.

Once you see your first cholla face, I’ll bet you you can’t pass a skeleton without seeing more!
