About The Artwork
This painting was inspired by a clump of cactus near a falling wooden fence post. I often want to paint old wooden buildings, fence posts, and windmills, because they are a reminder of the days of my youth in Texas when more wood was used, and most ranchers and farmers needed at least some woodworking skills for building fences and barns. Those are rapidly disappearing. Cactus appeals to me so much because each clump is artful in its own right. No two ears are the same size, shape, orientation, nor do they catch and reflect light the same. I am a colorist, and that shows in this piece too with its purples, lilacs, and blues in sharp contrast to the paler colors in the cactus and wildflowers.

I am a Texas artist and have painted for most of my 71 years, being from a family of artists. My mother's youngest sister, aunt Patsy, spent a lot of time with me, guiding and encouraging me, and I credit her for my passion for art. She painted under the name of "von." When she died in August of 2018, I began placing "von" somewhere on the face of each painting as an acknowledgment of her role in my artistic endeavors. My inspirations come from my home environment in Texas. Things that I have taken for granted all my life are now frequent subjects for art. Mesquites, cactus, old barns and shacks, windmills, wooden fence posts, wildflowers and the like are favorite subjects. I am a colorist, and I enjoy using color to give new life to otherwise fading beauty. In addition to color, I strive for dimension, movement, depth and unusual perspective.
