The word “succulent” sounds titillating. You can almost “feel” what it means as it rolls off of your tongue. Say it right now. Slowly…
O.k. maybe I just wanted to use the words “succulent and “titillating” in the same sentence. 😉 But these beauties grow all over the place in Florida. They seem to be just as happy in our tropical swamp as they are in the dry air of the desert. But with thousands of varieties available, they do have varying care requirements. So if you want to grow some of these beauties inside or out, read the labels on the plants before buying. They do love bright sunlight, but they can get sunburned. I have seen a few wither and die myself.
I love the smooth feel they have and the variety of colors they come in. I’ve taken artistic liberty with this one obviously. I was intrigued by the interesting shapes and shadows in this plant. Nature is my inspiration!

I am creating new original paintings for my upcoming show. I do a lot more digital work these days, so it is a nice change to go back to more visceral creativity. I am recreating some of my pieces from 9 years ago, but with a different twist. Unfortunately the camera I had back then didn’t capture my work well enough for large prints. But these can go as large as 48×60! Now that is big and definitely “Standing Tall”! Happy Sunday all…..
