Tiny Cactus

 #6 of 16

A pot crammed with tiny cactus
seen from above
made for a curious view
one of abstract textures.
Please forgive the age damage
that this delicate drawing exhibits.
Because of its short-comings
the EBay listing will have a "best offer" option.

Sixth in this series of sixteen drawings from 1997.

Follow the auction
of the original 
"Tiny Cactus" drawing

Sketch in Progress


A sneak peek
of a complicated composition
slowly coming to fruition.

First the pencil sketch
then the ripening
as color is applied
in washes.
