Post 177: The Cactus Series, set of 3 Acrylic on Canvas, all 4x12

The Cactus Series

Cactus and succulents in general are such interesting plants and almost feel "foreign" for me here on the East Coast. I suppose the lush greenness of Virginia would feel the same from someone in the dry areas. 

There are the exceptions I suppose even here in Virginia. Have you ever been to the Cactus House just outside of Richmond, Virginia? The real name of it is the "Saguaro Hill" in Henrico County. See https://richmond.com/news/local/henrico-s-desert-home-saguaro-hill-is-an-oasis/article_46e2795c-ce24-5980-996e-0d34167fa1c5.html

I don't know if they still do it but they used to give house tours, which I got to do once. Such a COOL house!! Besides cactus everywhere, a stream going under the house that you could see, a saltwater aquarium big enough that a scuba diver was needed to clean it, and decorated all around with south west -everything-. Too cool.

Anyway, as cactus don't typically need a lot of watering, for those that don't have a green thumb, cactus can make a good house plant as long as you keep them away from the foot traffic (ouch). Easier still, a painting of a cactus would require no water at all, and be much safer to the touch.

For me, I am thinking at least 3 is a series of the same subject, probably of the same size. Two are just "I painted 2 of these" and three is a theme going. Makes sense to me at least.
