My intent is to provide samples of my work with dialogue that describes and teaches.

Cactus Flower 2
This is the second time I worked from the same photo of the blossom from my cactus that blooms only at night. After working with layering transparent washes to do a deep dark background (in the workshop with Soon Warren) I like the effect and the contrast it offers for a painting like this.
