(c)2009 NL Matus

This is a painting from a roadtrip from early summer, and I had been tinkering with it off and on during the last month. I was attracted to the contrast of the red-orange cactus blossoms against the shades of green/olive in the cactus itself. Without trying to get into too much detail, and capture that which caught my eye. I have 2 paintings I developed further from this one, and I would like to continue in this theme for a bit. This one is about 4" x 6".
