This is a cactus that is in full bloom all around us in the neighborhoods of our community. I have wanted to paint this for awhile, but hadn't gotten quite the photo I wanted. Okay, the real reason is it looks hard! Well, I got a sprawling one photographed this week and will put my thinking cap on and decide how I want to paint this. I am thinking, so far, about a full sheet of Yupo! Yeah, that's what I'll do. Okay, now for the background....hmmmmm.
I am a watercolorist living in the desert Southwest, a native of that area. My husband and I enjoyed traveling in our motorhome and I have taken many photographs to be used as reference photos for future paintings on these trips. I have been painting since 2000, it is a passion for me and I have enjoyed exploring all the different subjects to paint; landscapes, florals, portraits, etc. Please feel free to comment below or at susanroper@cox.net.

Lovely photo, Susan, but it will be such an amazing painting when you finish. Your art is truly evolving. Love it.
