The other day I visited the Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay. In the main greenhouse they have a room filled with cactus and succulents. Since it was a quiet day I was able to sit on my sketching chair and not be in the way of other visitors. This is about 5 x 7.
What a beautiful desert plant grouping! Love all the colors you've incorporated and of course, that adds life to any piece!
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job on this sketch, Joan! I love the greens!
ReplyDeleteA great sketch Joan with beautiful colours! I was actually considering painting a cactus today but changed my mind to an outdoor scene. Maybe for my next one - you have inspired me!
ReplyDeleteWell done Joan. I like the flow of the piece.
ReplyDeleteI would never have thought cactus painterly, but these are really lovely
