The Cactus is Blooming

Our "Christmas" cactus blooms a few times per year. It is an amazing sight, I think.

Yesterday it seemed too cold to go outside and paint en plein air as we usually do on Thursday's, so the group came to my house to paint instead. I of course forgot to take pictures of us all scattered around the studio, but I do have 3 pics of the painted cactus and of course a photo of the cactus' themselves for your enjoyment.

THIS FIRST ONE IS MY PAINTING:

THE NEXT ONE IS MY FRIEND CAROLYN'S

THE NEXT ONE IS MY FRINED MICHELE'S

And here's a shot of the 2 plants - not a very good one - sorry
