Prickly Pear

3 inch glossy vinyl sticker

This is part of a series of three cactus paintings titled Texas Cacti which were inspired by my time living in Fort Davis, Texas in 2021.  For much of the year I lived at Château Wright and was surrounded by cholla, prickly pear, and various other desert cacti and plants.  I even visited the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center, where I got to see hundreds of cacti native to the region in their greenhouse.  The original paintings were on recycled wine filters from the winery, and are painted with acrylics.
