Fleeting Beauty


My cholla cactus in my front yard treats us to some of the most beautiful, waxy-appearing blooms early in the spring. The blooms usually only last for a day or two, and then quickly disappear. I painted a couple of the blooms, and this is the result of my effort.


"Fleeting Beauty"...16" x 20" oil on linen.
This painting just received a "First Place In Oils" award at the Glendale Art Competition, 2011.

  1. Wow beautifully painted! Thanks so much for posting your great demos, I have really been enjoying both the glazing demos & the spray method (or should it be called) blurry shape method ;)
