Piece description from the artist
Abstract black and white fine art photograph of a barrel cactus by Edward M. Fielding as part of the Southwest Collection.
Closeup of a rare barrel cactus in the Southwest USA desert outside of Phoenix, Arizona. Some species of Barrel cactus easily reach over 1 metre (3.3 ft) in height at maturity, and have been known to reach 3 metres (9.8 ft) in some regions. The ribs are numerous and pronounced, and the spines are long and can range in color from yellow to tan to red, depending on the age of the plant and the species. Flowers appear at the top of the plant only after many years. The barrel cactus can live to be over 100 years old.
Artist, designer, and fine art photographer, Edward M. Fielding works in the Upper Valley region of the Connecticut River Valley area of New Hampshire and Vermont. The rural country side provides inspiration to his landscapes of natural beauty and the simple life on family farms.
In his work you can often find old trucks, heirloom barns and workhorse vintage tractors as well as glimpses of coastal areas from Florida, California, Prince Edward Island and Maine. As a constant traveler, Fielding also brings us views from as far away as Montana where his in-laws live in Bozeman, the American Southwest, his birthplace — Hawaii, California and European photographs of Italy and France.
