Watercolor Painting
Organ Pipe Cactus
Among Friends IV
Watercolor painting on 300 lb paper - 17" x 11"
This painting has three companions for a total of four pieces
The organ pipe is such a close cousin of the saguaro that it's often mistaken. The size is very close, as certain ages, but all of it's arms grow from the ground and it doesn't seem to develop arms on a trunk the way that a saguaro does. It blooms in the same time of the year as the saguaro, but the organ pipe is only found in gardens and yards here in the city. The National Monument borders on the International border with Mexico. We haven't visited there very often, and we've never timed it just right for the organ pipe blooms.
The saguaro is king, the ocotillo is queen, the barrel cactus and the organ pipe join the hedgehog and the prickly pear in making our desert very colorful as well as very thorny.
