Painting a cactus


                                       Acrylics on paper. A4 format.

Every time I draw or paint a cactus I am reminded of my bicycle tour down the Baja, sun in my face while struggling up the cactus covered Colinas, the Sierras, enjoying the sight of roadrunners and californian quail crossing the road, far out at sea the humpback whales swimming down to their tradional wintering places accompanied by huge shoals of travel companions, dolfins....at night half asleep on mexican Dos Esquis beer i could hear coyotes swarming around my tent, checking my empty beer cans for some last drops I guess. According to the mexicans we were talking about Chupacabras...hahaha. I was young and adventurous then.
