This is a painting of an Agave cactus that
grow wild in the Arizona desert. It's painted
from photos I took on one of my many local
trips around Phoenix

Agaves are not cactus in the Cactaceae family but are succulents in the Agavoideae family. It's a common mistake. Lovely picture!

I've been an artist since age 5, when I remember drawing an airplane better than my older brother. It was a bi-wing with a propeller, (not that I'm that old... it was 1957 and it was a racing plane), and it was encouraging because up until then, it was the only thing I could remember doing better. I kept at it, and now nearly 50 years later I'm still trying to improve my creative process. Now I realize you never get better than anyone else... just more unique to your own style, and become the best painter you can be.
