Tucson Cactus

 
A barrel cactus in late January. Acrylic on Masonite. 8"x8"   
This is by far the only blooming cactus this time of the year here in Arizona. I am enjoying painting shadows and the barrow shapes. Also trying to make the colors interesting with minimal pizazz. Shadows are important so values are important to pay attention to. This is my second attempt at a barrel cactus. Still struggling somewhat.
