Prickly Pear Paintings

Here are my latest two oil paintings. The above red cactus is a scene from Big Bend National Park in Texas. For some unknown reason I've found myself fascinated with cactus and it all began when I took a trip to New Braunfels, Texas. I saw fields & fields of cactus while driving down the back roads in the Texas countryside....you don't see that around central Oklahoma. However, I found the below Prickly Pear cactus patch just a couple of miles from my home in the middle of Oklahoma City. It was growing in front of a car repair shop surrounded by a sea of concrete.
