Prickly Parfait Cactus

22x15 acrylics on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper done last September, a fantasy cactus scene emphasizing the color pink and other pastel hues. A glorification of the dry arid desert flora. This painting SOLD last week during my Lincoln County Art Loop event in Alto, NM. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025

Desert Vibes

30x11 acrylics on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper done in January, a playful unrealistic cactus depiction. These tall saguaros are welcoming everyone with their open arms, colorful contortions, and desert vibes. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026

Window Wall Cactus

10x8 acrylics on canvas done last week in anticipation of a WetCanvas acrylics challenge due today featuring a window. Including a few prickly pear cactus leaves at the bottom plus its surrounding shadows makes a nice composition. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025
