Orange Cactus Pod Bloom

8x8 watercolor using White Nights paints on Lanaquarelle hot press 140 lb done last weekend from some of my cactus ref photos. I enjoyed painting the vivid orange bloom on this set of desert succulent cactus or cacti. In May these will be blooming in west Texas. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

I always look forward to cactus blooms. Nice to see them here any time I want. Lovely.
