Featured Print of the Day - Cactus Roses

Cactus Roses

I started painting cacti when I was a student at UNC. I started painting them because I was so excited about my anticipated move to the Southwest. Twenty-six years later, I am still in New Mexico and still love painting these, as well as other colorful flowers and plants. For some reason, the cactus has become somewhat symbolic for me. It's beautiful here, but it hasn't been easy and I have had to find ways to thrive, sort of like the cactus in the desert.

Featured Print of the Day - Desert Beauty

Desert Beauty

When I moved from North Carolina to New Mexico in 1986, I had my house plants in the front of my VW and my dog, Babe, in the back seat. One of the plants was a prickly pear cactus, which we eventually planted outside, where it thrived in the New Mexico sun. It has been a model for several of my cactus sketches and paintings.

Print of the Day - "Dogwood"

Dogwood

One thing I miss about North Carolina are the dogwood trees that bloom in pink and white around Easter. It has been said that the dogwood tree was used to construct the cross Jesus died on. The bloom which is also symbolic, has four petals in the shape of a cross, with a notch in the edge of each petal, resembling a nail mark. The center of each flower symbolizes the crown of thorns worn on Christ's head.

Print of the Day - "A Breath of Spring"

A Breath of Spring

A couple of days ago, I started featuring a "Print of the Day" on my Facebook Fan Page.  I would like to add this to my blog, but would like to keep it consistent with my fan page.  So, I need to catch up by adding the first three prints here on the same day.

The first one is entitled "A Breath of Spring".  I painted this back in the spring of 2009.  It was inspired by a pot of white daisies I spotted basking in the sun, in the village of Corrales.
