November Nopales

I painted this on November 11 at the Ruth Bancroft Garden in Walnut Creek, California.  The garden is a beautiful collection of cacti, succulents and desert trees from all over the world. This time of year it's a rich tapestry of glowing color and lively patterns. A peaceful, joyful place to paint.

For those of you who are interested, here are some photos of my process, too.
