Christmas Cactus Watercolor

It's a good thing that friends insist that I post paintings that would otherwise languish in the bin for wayward art.  This Christmas Cactus cheerfully bloomed in November and sat quietly while I painted this 8"x10" portrait using watercolors of thalo blue, cobalt turquoise light, aureolion and opera rose. I can only believe the message emanating from friends and the beauty of these flowers is "Lighten up!"
