I was fighting with this one, and then I realized why it was not working. I was not using Arches paper. You can see in the sky, how spotty the paint settled. In the cactus as well, but the texture works there. I did nave fun with the saguaro. But I always do. Haha.
I’m like the trunk of a cactus… I take in a dose of culture and time with friends, then I retreat and go live on it for a while until I get thirsty again. Nancy Horan
The canyon country does not always inspire love. To many it appears barren, hostile, repellent – a fearsome mostly waterless land of rock and heat, sand dunes and quicksand, cactus, thornbrush, scorpion, rattlesnake, and agaraphobic distances. To those who see our land in that manner, the best reply is, yes, you are right, it is a dangerous and terrible place. Enter at your own risk. Carry water. Avoid the noonday sun. Try to ignore the vultures. Pray frequently. Edward Abbey
Haha. Yes me too Kat. I thought some of my introverted artistic friends would enjoy that one. Haha. 🙂
So glad you enjoyed the painting Kat. Sending prayers. 🙂
Love this!
Thanks so much Karin! Happy painting to you 🙂
Oh this is lovely! I enjoy your color choices so much. I don’t see the problem in the sky, just a gorgeous painting! I also LOVE that first quote

Sheila, the contrasting scale of saguarro and sierra is fabulous!
Thanks so much Dotty 🙂 Happy creating to you 🙂
You may see problems with this but my first thought was – how crisp and clean! It is lovely Sheila.
Thank you Val. 🙂 I love your quilled motorcycle!
