Cactus Night

5.5x8.5 mixed media in sketchbook done week before last while on a trip. I used Crayola markers, White Nights watercolors, white gel pen, acrylics, and black India ink. No reference used, only imagination how cactus appears during the night hours. I used Master's Touch sketchbook for mixed media. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025
