"Red Agave"

Acrylic on Canvas board

6" x 4"

I am in love with the Agave. There are so many varieties of Agave, and this one, with the yellow bands along the edges, is particularly interesting. The heat of the day makes the color shimmer and sizzle, and this is one of a series I am doing exploring my feelings about this hardy plant in the harsh desert environment.

Oil

This was a commissioned painting I completed, and is the largest of my agave paintings to date. This was done in alkyd oils, and painted around the sides, thus removing the need to frame it.

This is available now as a print, a matted/framed print, print on stretched canvas, or notecards. Please click the link below:

Quick oil sketch done on a small drive out in the desert. The sun was drying my alkyd paints even while I worked on this, but it pushed me to work faster and capture my first impressions.
