I took the photo that inspired this painting (see last image) in Tucson Mountain Park on the west side of the city. I was wrapping up a lovely little hike when I came around the bend and this crested saguaro cactus was beckoning to me. As I painted it, I realized that the swirls and folds of the cactus were an echo of the sky above that day.

Item is 8" x 10" and comes in a white mat that brings the overall size of the piece to 14x11”. It was created with watercolor paint on acid free, cold press heavyweight watercolor paper.
