Cactus Monday - Arrojadoa penicillata

This pretty looking cactus is Arrojadoa penicillata. I find it difficult to resist pink blooms. This is done with colored pencil about 5"x7".

This is sooooo lovely, soft and beautiful! I can hardly believe you did it with colored pencils! I love colored pencils, but can hardly believe they did something like this!!! Very great!!!!!!! It gives me hope for my future technique perfection! P.S. I adore desert wildflowers, and spent all morning perusing my wildflower book, then came upon this desert cactus flower...amazing timing!!!

Beautiful macro view of this flower. I think cactus flowers are so special because they live with all those thorns and spines.
You really do great with those colored pencils!

HCM!
