Cactus Monday #2


Here's a little 6 x 6 inch canvas I painted this weekend at the studio especially for Cactus Monday. I used a photo I took a few years ago as a reference. I've listed it in my Etsy shop to keep the other paintings company! I call it "Cactus Meditation."
Update...it sold as soon as I listed it. A client of mine saw it and wanted it for her daughter, so I took it off Etsy.

  2. A cactus always seems to know something that the other plants don't.

    I'm joining the Cactus Monday Movement.

  10. I can definitely see why you waould call this one Cactus Meditation. It is very soothing and makes one feel pensive and "in tune". Very beautiful!
