Painting - Watercolor
Description
The morning sun creates a glow on the beautiful yellow flowers of the Prickly Pear cactus. The spiny bluish-green pads are mixed with a few purple tinted ones whenever the winter weather causes the coloration change. This desert plant loves the southwest weather that Arizona provides. I wanted to show off the many shades of color by setting this plant against an old adobe wall that is very weathered and cracking from age and sun abuse. I included a red rock as they are a favorite, along with a very rustic, weathered wooden post as part of the backdrop. If you look closely, you will find a Cactus Wren with grasses in its' beak, searching for the perfect nesting site.
