SPRING CACTUS
oil on canvas, appr 6"x4"

This is a plein air painting done in my back yard. The weather is so beautiful today that I just had to go outside to paint. I sat in a chair and looked up at this cactus on a plant stand beside my back porch. It has lots of new yellow-green growth while the old is blue-green.

What an interesting angle-------looking up from below. I never think to do that. Like it.

Thanks, Georgiana! I forgot to mention that I also enjoy your quotations. I have read Henri's The Art Spirit over and over.
