Tapping Into My Inner Frida


I guess it's prickly pear season in my studio. I took several pictures of the flowering cactus when we were in San Saba a few months ago, and made a sketch then.



Which was translated into a watercolor painting that I just finished (maybe, I think). Here it is with my reference photos. I don't paint watercolor on the easel. It's just so I can get a look at it.

Last week when I went to the Mexican grocery store to buy tortillas I found tunas, or prickly pears. Well, having written so many papers about Frida Kahlo I felt I had to take them home. I did a sketch and took some pictures for a future painting. Now, does anyone know if they taste good? I'll have to try them later tonight.
