June Blooms

This is my newest desert scene painting.  It is titled "June Blooms".  The size is 16X12.  June is the month the saguaro is in full bloom along with a lot of the other cacti and wildflowers.  I decided to do a painting featuring all of these.  For some reason the photo looks a little washed out.  The colors in the painting are much more vibrant.  I think I had the lighting wrong when I took the picture but am too lazy to take another one. 
Now that most of the exhibitions are over I have some time to devote to painting.  My next one is something new and different.  Actually it is a test run on an idea that a friend gave me to include in a collage painting I will do for her.  I decided to do a small painting of the idea and if I like how it comes out that will be the prototype for the one in the collage.  I'll post a photo when it is done and try to get the lighting better.
