Desert Folk Art

My husband and I went

exploring in the desert

yesterday on his ATV. 

I saw some beautiful pink

prickly pear cactus and

had to paint some in

my own little world. 

I'm trying to paint

with more freedom

and simplicity and 

strangely enough, am

finding it very difficult. 

That said, I'm not

giving up. There's

something very pleasurable

about it. 

I keep reminding myself

that repetition is the mother of skill.
