Media: Pastel on sanded paper, lightly fixed
Size: 16x12 in
The setting for this painting is of the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. The time of year is winter. I hike a lot when I'm here and was surprised when I saw the Ocatillo featured in this painting. The cactus was all leafed out and bushy which I don't remember happening at this elevation til 4-6 weeks later in the growing season. Nonetheless, I admire this species and have painted it before. I've included a painting I posted a few years ago to illustrate how intricate and downright lovely it is when its leaves emerge. Hope you like it.
