Description
You know it's Spring in South Texas when the prickly pear cactus bloom... and I drew this right after they started to bloom. I thought I would draw three hummingbirds - two male ruby throated and one immature ruby stopping to have some "Prickly Punch" at the blooming Prickly Pear Cactus.
These cactus have large yellow to orange hued flowers that mature into pear shaped reddish fruit known as "prickly pears". These cactus are common in the area around Rockport, Texas, and most of South Texas.
This is my second attempt at using pastels - still experimenting with this medium - so thanks for stopping by to take a look!
