Last April I was fortunate to spend a week in Phoenix,
what a bonus to see
all the cacti in bloom!

Critters & Creature show at the Coast Collective Aug 5 - Aug 22. Still experimenting with oils, I used a palette knife to create texture in this painting, it has a different look because it's painted on board instead of canvas.  I find the surfaces I paint on have a definite say on the outcome of my work.
