Contemporary Cacti Painting

Here's the companion painting to Prickly Pear I.  Cactus is a new subject matter for me...and I love the way the grow, the layers of shapes, the shadows and of course those wicked needles.

The diptych size is 16" x 24", with the possibilities of framing the panels separately or together in one frame.  Thanks for looking at my blog...Both of these paintings are drying, but are available for purchase.  Contact Kay Wyne for more information.  Thanks, Kay

Contemporary Cacti Landscape

Finished!  This was fun to paint.  The shapes and colors of the prickly pear cactus are so interesting, and I was able to exaggerate the colors.  I have a companion piece, Prickly Pear II that I will post tomorrow.  This painting is drying in the studio, but is available.  Thanks for looking at my blog...Kay Wyne

I just finished my first cacti painting!  This painting was inspired from a photograph taken by Sequanota friend, Martha T., who was in Tucson and caught a dynamic photograph of a blooming cactus.  The moment I saw the photograph, I wanted to paint my version of the colorful, spiney, and wild cactus.  I put layers and layers of darks in before I started with the lighter colors.  It was fun putting in the needles and colorful blooms.  I cropped and focused in on the cacti, giving the painting an abstract feel.  Thank you, Martha for letting me use your photo.  This painting is drying in the studio.  Contact Kay Wyne for more info on this painting.  Kay

p.s.  here is the photo that Martha took!
