Desert Cactus are the large ones. the cactus with the yellow flower is called Opuntia - Anne is the expert not me.
I have done these on 8 inch square canvas, so little chance forshade, so small the picture could have looked dirty. The cactus picture was different with the darker colours.
And you still painted this Ern 😱🤩I like the sheep faces Ern 👌😁 ba....
You definitely caught the warmth with those desert cactuses 👍👍👍 🤩
Thank you Snowdrops_17 - Painting helps - I like painting sheep and in particular lambs - I think I need larger canvas, I seemed to have got used to the 8" one. Cactus I should know lol, our houshold has hundreds, in greenhouse that is 😀🐑
Really! 😱🙆 100 of Cactuses, gosh 👌😂 But I know they are amazing and some have very beautiful flowers!
Anyway feeling sleepy now .... I better be off to bed Ern! Pray you get a restful sleep too my friend 👍 Good Night Ern 🌃🌜⭐
Good Night Snowdrops_17 - Sleep Well. 😀😀👍
I really like these; the desert sky is amazing.
Thank you Sharon.
I love these. Your paintings cheer me up. Thank you.
love them both. I used to have a Christmas cactus which had beautiful flowers xx
Yeas I like Christmas Cactus also.x
What a sweet lamb. i always wanted an opuntia, but never got round to acquiring one. I have half a dozen cacti on the landing windowsill + 2 refugees from bring and buys which have to make do with my bedroom windowsill. (Better than the rubbish bin.) My oldest cactus is 70 years old, considerably older than my daughter. xxxx
Anne had over 200 in a greenhouse, and a small polyhouse. She is always in there.
I had no idea they lived that long. 70 !!!wow.xx
I have a spider plant and rhoicissus which are 50 years old. We grow old together - though the plants are in better nick.😀🌸🌱🌵
My spider plants just do not survive. They must enjoy being with you very much. xx
I call the senior spider plant Fred. Perhaps that's what makes the difference. xx
I don't name my spider plants, maybe that is whythe die -I usedtobe able to grow them, not for any legnth of time these days. I like rubber plants, have one 8 foot lall in the living room. xx
Gosh! I used to try to keep rubber plants while I was still living at home. My parents' house was cold and damp and the leaves fell off one by one. Very sad.
That's smaller than my children's book covers.
Love the hues you've used on the desert cactus painting.
Beautiful as always Ern , I really could just sit in that field for hours and watch the birds fly past. Thanks for sharing.
Take care
Wendy xx
thank you Bumptybrain, yrs it isinviting, the weather though .
I love your pictures. I don’t know anything about cactus though.
Hi Ern🙋♀️, thank you for sharing these lovely paintings. I love the sheep 😊. Sharing these when you're feeling so poorly just shows your inner strength. Hope someone can help you with your oxygen question. 😊❤️❤️xxx
Thank you Nula 2 -I am at doctors tomorrow, with my current medication I would not be allowed oxygen, I am hoping for some other treatment, rather than changing meds.xx
Ah hope they can offer you something that won't mean changing your meds 🤞🤞😊❤️
That will be hard Nula2 - My options are limited - Some years ago I was rushed to hospital as my pulse was all over, I was having a ventricular tachycardia episode and I collased in bed - next thing I new lots of people round the bed, I am unsure if I was ressusitated or not, something had happed, my heart rate had been off the scale, for some reason they would not tell me how fast - problem was with my chest conditions all they could offer was Amioderone -as that did not repress breathing, it attacked and ruined my thyroid and it could be part of my worstening lung problems,nasty drug but it kept me here. I will update when I have a plan one way or another.
Wow Ern, what a lot to take in to consideration. If they can offer you something it seems it will still leave you weighing up the odds before you can make a decision one way or the other. ❤️❤️xxx
I am seeing her 3-10 PM and they have given me a double appointment - Being realistic, I don't have a clue - I discared my rescue packs as I did not want Pred with blood thinners, I may well find that's an option. My problem is breathing a lot of the time, so going to let her do the thinking. I will do an update late, other things need to be taken into consideration. I would weigh up the odds for sure xxX
Country and Western. Just need to add the music. Your cactus at the front is also a CATCUS. Two ears, two yellow eyes and a face in the mountain behind. Wonderful. Again a light and dark painting contrast. Thank you. xx
These are great Ern.i love them both,the roses and foxgloves,love to see sheep grazing.the lilacs on the hills blend brilliantly 🥰.I luv Yr cacti & can feel the heat frm Yr desert x
Thank you Pat - I seems to be hooked on painting on these small canvas x
two very different paintings, and I love both! The sheep painting I love of course, but also the desert one with the incredible colours. I’m really impressed you grow cacti.
Thank you HH anne is the grower, i do put the less tender one;s in my garden.
