About The Artwork
Claret cup cacti grow near my home in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. They bring forth clusters of dozens of short-lived blooms in May. I came upon this example early one morning while on a stroll through the mesa and high desert terrain. I was drawn by the shadows that the petals cast on each other and the bold stigma and pistil in the center. The surrounding dry grasses, cactus stems, and spines made the petals pop for me. I worked from a photo to perfect the image. I didn't notice the insect perched on one of the petals until later. I thought it was a fun addition to the composition so I kept it.

United States
I'm a retired communication professor pursuing a new avocation as a watercolor artist. In my travels across the United States and around the world I pause for a 4x6 color sketch whenever an inspirational moment takes hold and I have my portable art pack at hand. I revisit those moments at my home in western Colorado by producing finished miniatures with reference to digital snapshots I capture on location. I have been at this for over 25 years and have a collection of several hundred paintings of great works of nature and of humankind. The most striking images evolve into larger works that fill the walls of my studio, our home, and our outbuildings. I show my work in art exhibitions near my home and now online.
