I'm playing again! Felt the need to have some texture, so I played with the photo my daughter's mother-in-law and my friend Diana gave me. They have another office in Phoenix so I feel quite sure she took this pic while out there in the desert...thus the name..."Arizona Cactus" done on 9x6"gesso on panel. I always stain these on the sides so they can sit on an easel or shelf alone, or can be framed. I plan to put this on my website, but I want to leave it alone for a few before I am convinced I am finished...I think I am...but, you know how it goes!

My gosh but this is great! So, almost abstract and the colours are amazing.
Thanks Liz...It does sort walk between the two.
It's always a challenge for me to paint cactus. I love this perspective. Bravo Saundra!
Thank you Sheila, and welcome to my blog! The texture, once it was there made the painting part much easier...and it was fun!
