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

Prickly Pear Shadows

6x6 watercolor using White Nights paints done last weekend, another in my prickly pear cactus series. This one is based from my photo of a cactus patch complete with shadows, thorns and other foliage such as wild grasses and is more realistic. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith
