My inspiration for this painting came from being at the Moorten Botanical Garden in Palm Springs California seeing a white cactus plant is quite a sight to behold as a rough-looking plant with thorns while a cactus with flowers is not often seen so I thought let's add some little frogs and lizards and make the white cactus glow using an imagination.
Terry Cornelius is a contemporary artist who lives and works in Palm Springs, California. A native of Chicago, Illinois, his vibrant and bold art paintings draw on his experiences as a young child with an active and creative mind. An M.F.A graduate of San Diego State University, Cornelius’ unique watercolor paintings use artistry and emotion that resonates with the beauty of everyday life. Inspired by my imagination and experiences, my contemporary style uses a mix of vibrant and bold watercolors on canvas paper that create a whimsical and moderate art scene showcasing my connection between my art and state of mind. Painting from personal experiences my intent is to connect the viewer to my imagination and thought processes while allowing them to interpret and feel their own connection with my work.
