Cactus Monday

I did a garden tour last weekend and I saw this beautiful cactus
sitting in a sunny location. I couldn't resist those beautiful pink
blossoms. I gave it a try. I don't know what kind of cactus it is.
I just know it is a pretty one.

Happy Cactus Monday.

Animal Wednesday - Puffin

Atlantic Puffin is the sketch for today. I found this in my sketchbook. I was going to do a birthday card for a friend that likes puffins. I was just getting a feel for the bird with this sketch. The card turned out much different, colorful for one thing. HAW

Cactus Monday - Prickly Pear

Hello Cactuteers. It is another Happy Cactus Monday. I saw a large iron pot full of Prickly Pear Cactus this weekend. It was actually blooming so I tried to paint one of the blooms. They were yummy.

Animal Wednesday - Cat

I am always seeing pictures of animals that I really enjoy. I try to capture the feeling. I just love the picture that inspired this painting. You can see it on Gintonio's blog here. He has a couple of cats in his garden and they are featured on his blog occasionally. I made his kitty much fatter in this picture. Sorry kitty. None of us like to look fatter in pictures. Ha...
