Orange Cactus Blossom

$64 © Pam Van Londen 2009, Orange Cactus Blossom, 8×8x1 on acrylic on gessobord

Here is another painting from Lucy’s garden, down the street from me. Lucy has passed away, but her memory lives on her her succulent/palm garden, which I get to watch grow every day.
This cactus blooms every spring, in these bright orange blossoms. When they drop off, red bulbs are left, which I think eventually turn into new branches.
