Recently I was commissioned by some friends of ours to do a cactus painting. They live in Southern California (having previously lived in New York City) and have really gotten into cacti. They wanted a large canvas painting and the creativity was left up to me for this one.
After mentally cycling through several ideas, I decided upon painting two cacti in a pot, with a flower growing out of the top of one of them. This, I thought, would symbolize them as a couple growing together.
Art prints of this cactus painting are available here.
The painting is done with acrylic, gouache and watercolor paints!
There is life, growth and beauty in this painting. What a lovely gift for your friends! Thanks for sharing! I have a poetry blog here on WordPress and today’s poem is a lighthearted one about cacti in case you have time to look? Have a sunny day, Sam 🙂
