Night Blooming Cactus Painting

I moved to Arizona at the end of 2004 so I had never seen any of the night blooming flowers before. One night I was taking out my garbage cans about midnight and noticed these very large flowers at the top of this large cactus near my driveway. I was amazed! So I got my camera and a ladder so I could take some photos of these beautiful flowers. My neighbor came out to see what I was doing and gave me so much information about this cacti. He even got up on the ladder and took some amazing photos for me. I told him I wanted to paint this 10 inch flower. I had about 36 photos of them. So a few weeks later I decided to paint them on a large 36 inch square canvas. It took me about two weeks to do this painting. I have a love of texture in the stamens and at the edge of each petal. I wanted them to look like a 3-D flower. This painting has won a couple of awards and I had it hanging for several years as my feature in my great room. I didn't want to sell it cause I loved it so much. But now I have so many others to pick from that I thought I should sell it and let someone else enjoy this painting. It is painted on the sides, has wire on the back and is signed front & back. It is in new condition. Originally priced at $2250.00 but just for this listing, I am offering at only $1600.00 plus S&H
