Nopalitos 1 is a vibrant original painting inspired by the organic beauty of the prickly pear cactus, a powerful symbol of resilience, culture and the southwestern landscape. Through confident expressive brushwork, layered green Nopales emerge against a striking blue-green field, punctuated by subtle pink and red accents of ripening fruit. The artist’s intuitive use of color and rhythm, creates a dynamic yet harmonious surface, inviting close viewing while maintaining a strong presence from across the room. The composition feels both contemporary and timeless, abstracted yet recognizable, making it a versatile statement piece for modern as well as traditional interiors. The result is a work that feels both grounded in nature and distinctly modern.
Titled Nopalitos 1, this original cactus painting on canvas is the work of artist Elizabeth Catlin Young. Her signature is in the lower left corner along with name and title of the painting on the reverse. The painting is mounted in a simple modern black frame and ready to hang.
