This week I picked the prickly pear cactus fruit. The fruit is called by different names like cactus fig, tuna and indian fig. It is a tricky job to get them off the cactus without being stuck.
After I picked them I boiled them for about 4 hours, strained and then returned the juice to the pan, added some sugar and cooked for another hour and whale or a French word "voila" meaning "there it is� JAM. Nothing like i!
After I finished I decided to paint �Grandmas Prickly Pear Jam� just for fun.
My favorite medium is anything I choose to use that day. Lately that has been oil. It has a rich velvety texture and glides over the canvas. I also like to use transparent watercolors because they glow with luminescence and allows for the light I see in life to be captured on paper. I started drawing as a teenager. You may recall those art advertisements that were in the guise of a contest. Draw this dog and submit it to our panel of artists and see if you qualify. Of course, every submission was a winner if you could afford the huge price tag to enroll in their correspondence school.

Wonderful, gorgeous painting. We call it "Cactus Jelly" made from the tunas! Tuna is the name here for the fruit from the Prickly Pear Cactus. If you pick all the tunas, it will produce more next year and if you pick the napolitos (young leaves) it will produce less tunas and more napalitos next year. This is a very accomodating cactus! I use a newspaper folded in my hand to pick them, hold while I cut the skin, peal and drop the fruit in a bowl. VF

Sharon, Great painting, love the idea and the details and colors are remarkable. This painting would be ideal for hanging in a kitchen or a restaurant you should shop it around to a couple of restaurants and see what they think. The colors are bright and cheerful, but not overbearing and the detail within the painting is perfect. Excellent job, Sharon, voted, Tweet, FB and Google + promoted
