This colorful painting was inspired by the many rich colors of Tucson's Barrio District. The tough decisions started with where to begin when choosing only the handful of colors used. Colors like these contained in the painting can be found mingled together on exterior adobe walls, door and window trims, and other details of homes and businesses in the Barrio. Often the same colors can even be found painted on interior spaces giving them a lively southwest flare inside. In this particular painting, the green shades at the bottom were added to give the painting that touch of "cactus" color. Cactus of all kind is often the main focal point of the natural desert landscape in the Barrio (after the paint colors of choice that is).
