Barrel Cactus - 30 Paintings/ 30 Days #11

 

"Barrel Cactus"

4" x 5" 

Oil on Stretched Canvas

There are just so many different cacti and desert plants near Tucson, Arizona I want to paint them all! This one also resides in my brother's front yard.

 

This is part of the painting challenge to jump-start my painting efforts for 2013.

My theme is centered on my travels this winter in my 1996 29' Winnebago RV. Improving and diversifying my painting subjects has been one of the main goals of my travels. My goals for this challenge are to pick up speed in my painting, and be freer in my use of color and brushwork.

This challenge has been offered by artist Leslie Saeta. Link here to join in or see paintings of other artists. I am glad to be participating in this challenge, and seeing the efforts of other artists as well.

Some of my paintings are available. If you see something you are interested in purchasing or would like me to do a commission for you, please email me privately at sunnybrook.7@gmail.com for details on pricing .

Thanks for viewing!
