Saguaro Against a Purple Sky
Bring the vivid spirit of the Southwest into your home with this striking original painting, featuring a majestic saguaro cactus standing tall against a dramatic desert sunset. Inspired by a beautiful photo by David Dubé of Surprise, Arizona, known on Instagram as @soapboxinthesky, the bold, vertical cactus commands attention at the center of the composition. Behind its textured green arms reaching skyward, a breathtaking sky swirls with shades of purple, lavender, and hints of gold, capturing the fleeting beauty of twilight in the desert.
The foreground glows with warm ochres and earthy tones, dotted with desert shrubs and grasses, while distant silhouettes of more cacti and mountains add depth and a sense of place. The artist’s expressive brushwork and vivid color palette evoke both the serenity and the wildness of the desert landscape.
Perfect for anyone who loves the American Southwest, nature, or bold statement art, this piece will add warmth, color, and a touch of adventure to any room. Ideal for living rooms, offices, or entryways, it’s a celebration of resilience and natural beauty.
This painting was selected for an exhibit by the Greater Phoenix Economic Council in May 2025, as part of its Perspectives of Greater Phoenix.
