I'm finally back from a little blog hiatus!
The weather around here has been rather dreary and humid. Things seemed to shift from Winter to Summer so quickly and has me feeling like I'm living in a desert.
Which brings me to one of my newest obsessions...cacti & succulents! I've always had a little thing for house plants and have thankfully been pretty successful at keeping them alive. Then I decided to expand my collection from a couple of average plants, to a few more exotic-like ones. Currently in our living room sits a little palm tree (one of my dream plants), and a gathering of little cacti & succulents. It might be a strange thing to get excited about but they make me love my place even more.
a new shelf/plant/owl gathering...and the top of the new palm!
All of the plant and cactus love combined with the too hot for Spring weather, had me wanting to do a little series called "in the desert". A little spin-off from my in the forest creations.
Introducing 3 paintings from "in the desert"
All available in my etsy shop !
A cactus, coyote, and jackrabbit.
The jackrabbit is my favorite painting I've done in a while and he will be hard to let go!
I'm thinking about doing a few more for this series and I need some help thinking of some new desert related things that don't involve creepy crawlies!! Ideas anyone?
xoxo
The cacti are lovely Heather!
