Desert Grace – Floral Painting by Joy Skinner
Desert Grace – Floral Watercolor Painting featuring the blooms of a Barrel Cactus. Many sizes are available for purchase.
“Desert Grace, from the Desert Life series, started out as most floral paintings do, with a photo shoot. A photoshoot with cactus flowers is somewhat of a double-edged sword. I look forward to the spring when the cactus are blooming so I can get out with my camera although I often come home covered in stickers and this barrel cactus was no different. The upside is the pulp from the barrel makes great candy 🙂
Painting this flower was a bit of a challenge. The petals are mostly transparent and so each petal has about 10 layers of transparent paint on them.”
