Happy Cactus Monday With Fun Cacti Finds from Saturday!

Pen and ink from photo I took on Saturdaydrawn in pencil, colored in colored pencils, ink pen added watercolor #3
I knew you cactus lovers would adore this Saturday find of an artsy address sign post...I have driven by this house a million times with out seeing the vast array of cacti in it's front yard nor this artifact in green extended arms! This time I SAW and grabbed camera, stopped car and captured all. I will save some for future CMs. Is this a Wowzer or What?
Stunning... I took this photo from cacti in that front yard!
and we are no where near Arizona! :-) And it became the model for the art above.

  14. My Mother would be right at home in the Cactus. Love your art! And the pictures are really pretty.
    Pee Chee was a must, I doddled all over everyone I ever had. I thought for sure they would come back, but not yet.
    Sounds like we had some fun afternoons. Our TV was in a cherry wood cabnet. I can't remember how big it was, but I know it was small. Happy memories! Mary
