THE KEY TO IMMORTALITY ...




IS FIRST LIVING A LIFE WORTH REMEMBERING.
 ~ bruce lee




CLOSE YOUR EYES AND REMEMBER

12 x 12"  Acrylic on Textured Wood Panel


I posted this once before but I wasn't quite satisfied with it so I went back in and changed the trees on the right, added the orange bush to bring some color forward, then added a little more depth of color overall.  :)

I wonder what the message was here ...

We went out for a drive in the desert last weekend and I took this photograph.  The lighting was almost surreal.  It gave the illusion of the Saguaro being soft and fluffy.  I'd say that was a little false advertising!




Same Saguaro from a little further away.

KEEP CALM AND STAY SASSY!
