Saguaro Outside of Tucson Painting

This original oil painting was created en plein air in January of 2018. I was visiting Tucson Arizona to paint desert landscapes. These saguaro cactuses are really impressive! I just love western desert Americana landscapes and have wanted to try my hand at them for a long time. I create paintings to last for generations. This piece was painted on a cradled wooden panel which I used traditional homemade rabbit glue to mount linen canvas on, which I then covered with homemade gesso. It's a rigid surface and a method that has been used for hundreds of years. The frame was custom made by fine furniture maker Jens Sehm which I hand gilded. The gilding has some charming imperfections. It was covered with shellac and should age nicely. It should darken a bit and get better with time.
