Paintings of Saguaros

Saguaros are probably the most iconic emblem of the southwest. These majestic cacti thrive in Mexico and the southwestern United States, reaching mighty heights of up to 60 feet. Their abstract shapes and strong compositional element make them indispensable to the western landscape painter. The iconic saguaros have been classically included in works of American Impressionism and Western art by artists such as Maynard Dixon, Edgar Payne, and Erin Hanson.

Saguaros
This painting of Arizona saguaros celebrates the vibrant colors of the southwest. The thick, impressionistic brush strokes create a mosaic of color and texture across the canvas, pulling your eye through the painting so that you become immersed in imagination. <b>Did you know…?</b> * The average saguaro has a lifespan of 150 to 175 years. Biologists believe that some may live for over 200 years. * Because of their slow growth, a saguaro often takes 50 to 70 years to grow their first arms. By the time they are 100, they typically have several arms. * The oldest recorded saguaro grew over 40 feet tall and had 52 arms. _____ This painting was exhibited at <i>Erin Hanson: Landscapes of the West </i> solo museum exhibition at the Sears Art Museum in St. George, Utah.
