Tenerife is an island of fantastic beauty, a hard black landscape sculpted by massive volcanic lava eruptions, where prickly cacti grow with so many triffid like variations in weed like abundance.
This week I took photographs of the riot of colour at the Los Gigantes carnival and made a series of quick sketches of cacti.
Here are a few drawings and photos capturing some inspirations together with a painting made at a little studio in the main square at Los Gigantes.
