This 12 x16 canvas with acrylics is my latest painting. It’s significance is enhanced by its inclusion in my new shop on Etsy, PaintedDesertArtwork. This painting was inspired in part by the occasional sole cactus that finds itself in a small desert basin.
As always, the forum group members are welcome to comment and lend your wisdom.
Thank you all once again.
July 23, 2018 at 1:01 pm #661700Nice calm color – I would suggest some ground cover and/or a couple more cacti. It’s not very often a “lone” cacti is found in what appears to be a vast amount of barren desert. Good texture on the rock structures & light & dark areas as well. Nice watery sky.

My website https://jocastilloart.comJuly 23, 2018 at 7:00 pm #661698Nice sky! And overall great sense of sunset atmosphere. The cactus is a bit confusing in regard to the scale of the cliffs/mesas…those cacti get what 10-15 feet tall?…..therefore making the mesas seem really small in height, like just big rocks. I hope Im making sense
