Description
Yellow Desert Cactus Flowers. These grow all around the Southwest. I wanted to capture their delicate, waxy yet transparent nature. Though I did not capture the true colors of the dull smokey green pads I actually liked this better. They are a dusty blue green color in reality but part of being an artist is to be able to change the colors as we like them. I used a photograph I took years ago outside of Zion, Utah, to go by and used a combination of methods and effects on watercolor paper to achieve this painting. I should add I used tissue paper with clear resins to get the translucent effect of the flowers and even the pads. Up close I can envision their gentle beauty against the thorny pads of the cactus as light touches on the gentle petals while obscuring the hard prickly pads.
I am the yellow Cactus flower... beautiful in resiliency, long-lasting, and protective of myself!
