Cactus Blooms by Marie

We used to live in Tucson and every year the cactus blooms were such a delight.  The deep orange ones were a favorite of mine.  I painted this watercolor from a photo taken of a big cactus outside our grandson's school where I had photographed some of the blooms while waiting to pick him up.  Still wishing for some spring blossoms here in Terrebonne, Oregon, though we did see a few in Bend a few days ago!   Really longing for spring...and joining in today with Eva and Kristin's Paint Party Friday!

  3. Marie, your painting is gorgeous. I've never raised a cactus so I didn't realize how beautiful the blossoms are.

  7. Yes, I miss he blooms of the desert myself. These are beautiful. We never get a real summer here in Florence, OR. The cold ocean wind carries off the warm.
