| The “Mummy” of this “Baby” cactus stands some 18” high and is about 25 years old. The “Baby” in the painting was one of many babies which keep growing from the parent and which I periodically remove. This baby was about half an inch tall when it was plucked from its Mother’s sustaining body and I decided to plant it in a little pot on its own. That was five years ago. Suddenly, in July 2005 and in the space of three days this five-inch tall cactus burst into bloom, so of course I just had to get it onto paper. The aroma from these flowers is quite striking and invaded nostrils upon entering the studio. I worked on the painting solidly during the three days that the flowers were blooming and then as quickly as they had come; they went! Baby Bloom Cactus P11. 10 Limited Edition Prints.
