Saguaro 218 - 24"x30" Original

Saguaro 218 - 24"x30" OriginalSaguaro #218 2026 Cactus represent strength and protection and are symbolic of the ability to survive and prosper in a harsh and unforgiving environment. My "Saguaro" series of original acrylic paints was inspired by the giant saguaro cacti that dominate the Sonoran Desert region. They are easily one of the most recognizable cactus in the desert. My favorite time to observe the saguaro is when they are bursting with blooms in the early spring months.
