Desert Delicacies

I seem to be doing double consonants this week… Remember the second of my two little paintings didn’t work out. This is the third, and is of a Cactus Wren, the Arizona State bird, perched on a prickly pear cactus fruit. I haven’t thought about cactus wrens for a long time, but now am remembering watching them when I lived in Phoenix. They’re a scrappy little territorial bird. Fun to watch! This painting is called “Desert Delicacies”, is 12 x 9 and will also be for sale at the Settlers West “American Miniatures Show” on February 13th in Tucson.


Laurie-
BEAUTIFUL! LOVE IT!

We’ve seen the cactus wren and the plant it sits upon. You havae truly captured its beauty; vibrant colors in the plants; the wren is so realistically portrayed. Great Job!

Cactus wrens really are special in AZ! Can’t wait to see your actual painting in the Settlers show. Glad you’ve included this little gem!
