Purple Prickly Pear Print

Inspired by the prickly pear cacti in Big Bend National Park.

•  archival print of original artwork by Cara Jackson.

• Acid free, giclée print on thick matte paper.

While camping in Chisos Basin, we asked a park ranger for places to stop on the way to Santa Elena Canyon; one of his suggestions was the Homer Wilson Ranch, which can be viewed from an overlook on the side of the road.

Once there, I was quickly distracted by the plants growing along the side of the cliff, especially this vibrant purple prickly pear cactus, which seemed to shimmer in the desert sun.
