Very good painting and a great homage to the extraordinary Saguaro and the Arizona evening sky!
Good skill with the digital paintbrush.
Danke

Very nicely done. When I first saw the small image (thumbnail), I thought this was a photograph. Excellent color and composition. The second cactus and the fourth cactus appear to be mirror images of each other. Are they?

    Thank you! I appreciate your review and honor of the high rating. The second and forth cactus aren't meant to be mirror images, Not intentionally, but I see what you mean. They seem to be. I see it. It must be come from the many scratches I did on draft paper and digitally when I made the concept for the painting. I arranged and rearranged the saguaro and the fade city in the background many times. Some images may stuck in my unconsciousness.

This is a beautiful sunset artwork.. This is a perennial favourite of every one. The colours are awesome and the fading light adds to the mysterrious look of the cacti! Well done!

This is a stunning silhouette of the cactus! I love the colors you have used. It is sad that you lost so much in the hurricanes.This must bring back a lot of great memories. I love your design and the colors are brilliant! Very well done!

    Thank you very much. Yes they are amazing. We have lots of cactus and column cactus in Central America but I think the Saguaro is the most magnificent I have ever seen.

    I have only seen them in florist here but would love to see them in the dessert! They are suppose to be quite amazing!

    They are amazing! Everything around them seems to get smaller.
