Gardens & Parks, Cactus Garden, by Joan Tavolott

In addition to the wonderful camellia house that I sketched in for my last two posts, the Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay also has a regular greenhouse with some wonderful plants.
I sat and sketched for a while in the cactus room.

  2. I love those round ones the best, and the whole group is really beautifully painted and drawn! Yes, I could sneak my little succulents in among them!

  6. Thanks!!! Cacti are such great subjects...they don't even blow in the wind. The challenge is always those sticky needles.
