There are many Agave plants in this area of Arizona as they are one plant that can tolerate the heat and dryness of the summer. They can be very stately and almost sculptural in appearance, and I love painting the various hues and shadows they have. After a rainfall their stems (because of their cupped shape) often hold water for birds and animals.
This is gorgeous! Love seeing all the colors you used and how they mingle and share space to create the depth and light. Just beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteRhonda, thank you so much! It was great fun to play with the color. Pastel is a good medium to just experiment and play.
ReplyDeleteAnother great composition. You can feel the weight of the leaves too. Nice texture and color.
ReplyDeleteTruly beautiful ! Incredible how you took just a section of the Agave and put some soul into it! Great job.
ReplyDeleteReally nice, Carol! Love the depth and sculptural quality . . . wonderful shimmery color.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lorraine.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your comments, Jane. I think this was a painting more about colors and shapes rather than details. I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Melanie.
