Cactus

On a recent hike I came to a something I recognized. It was the cactus Weathered is based on. This painting is 2X4 feet. I painted just this interesting detail, but the whole cactus isn't withering, it is healthy and growing. It helped me realize that is how life is sometimes. When we focus on the hard parts of life it apears that is all there is. It gets blown way out of proportion until we can't see the whole thing. In reality, the rough parts are what add interest and beauty, and even growth.
