Cactus Forest, colorful cactus painting by Barry Tate
CACTUS FOREST
Inspired by all the color on our trip to Mexico, I decided to do an interpretive style painting of the catus in the area. Except for nasty thorns, their casual pudgey shapes appear almost cartoon-like and are quite fun to capture.
Cactus Forest has an abundance of rich colors that may not show well on a standard computer screen but will definitely add some punch to any decor!

ORIGINAL PAINTING:
Image size 18x 22 " acrylic  on canvas. (total canvas size 20x24") This is an unmounted canvas that can be wrapped as a 16x20 clean-edge if desired.
A clean-edge painting has the painting extend fully over the edges and can be hung "as is", or optionally framed.

GICLÉE PRINT
Giclée prints are the best type of reproductions available today.
They are supplied with a double acid free mat and foam backing board. All you need is a common 16x20" frame.

Mat options are:
    silver gray with dark blue inner mat - nice traditional look that fits well.  A mid to dark colored frame looks best
    dark blue on dark blue -  dramatic and bold look, very powerful. Best with a light colored frame like metallic or wood.
    white on white - traditional gallery choice, classy and elegant.  Goes with all decors. Best with a mid to medium dark frame.
