RE: "The smell of heat". Oil painting.
Lovely painting.
I loved all those nuanced greens and reds.
Cacti are amazing plants, indeed. I learned to appreciate them on a practical basis first. Where I grew up they are used for many medicinal purposes, one of them being the treatment of kidney stones, which I 've been suffering of since I was 12 (I'm 46 now). So, I'd go to a barren hill to pick up the right hill melon and in the process I ran into some of the most amazing varieties.
The fact that in very dry areas these plants can not only survive but bloom is just a miracle, a marvellous thing.
They flowers are amazing. Delicate, as you have painted them, but with the intensity and resolve of fire in the summer.
Wow, thank you very much for your comment!
A very interesting story about the healing properties of cactus. In the place where I live, it is often snowy and cold, so I can only afford to buy cacti in flower shops and admire them in the photo.
You are right, cacti are amazing plants, very hardy and original. In some thoughts they could be compared with very strong-willed people who are not afraid of difficulties and they find the strength to enjoy life - to blossom. I sincerely hope that all is well with you and you will overcome your illness.
