“Saguaro Against a Purple Sky” is the largest canvas I’ve painted to date! I admit that the size intimidated me at first, but after a little while, things flowed.
The painting is inspired by a beautiful photo taken by David Dubé of Surprise, Arizona. Check out his Instagram @soapboxinthesky.
Although I took a realistic approach, I experimented with a stylized version. For example, I painted the cactus teal rather than the dark green of the original photo. I also made the mountain range less detailed.
I feel gratified with the result and hope you like it, too!
