Cactus Forest Saguaro National Park Wall Art | Vintage Arizona Print

The Cactus Forest of Saguaro National Park is a crowd of green columns, and this print stands you on the sand path running through it. Ribbed saguaros lift their arms against a hard blue sky, scarlet ocotillo blooms flare at the right, and the violet ridges of the Rincon Mountains close the distance.

Why you'll love it

• Painted in the golden-age national park poster style: crisp vertical ribs on every cactus, stippled desert gravel and mountains reduced to flat violet planes.
• It names the exact place. Cactus Forest, Rincon Mountains, Arizona, with the park date and the coordinates 32.25 N, 110.50 W set along the bottom edge.
• A saguaro can pass 40 feet in height and live for more than 150 years, and Saguaro became a national park in 1994.
• Cactus green, terracotta sand and dusty violet make a warm palette for a sunroom, an entryway or a desert-toned bedroom.
• Drawn in the same style as the rest of the 63-park series, so several hang together as one set.

Styling it at home

This is the warmest print in the series, so it earns its place on a terracotta, clay or off-white wall rather than a cool grey one. Rattan, jute and unfinished pine all pick up the sand tones in the lower half. Hang it where afternoon light reaches the paper and the violet mountains shift noticeably through the day, or set it against houseplants so the painted cacti and the real greenery play off each other.

Shipping and care

Paper prints ship rolled in a rigid tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang with hardware fitted. Keep the print out of direct sunlight and wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth.

FAQ

How is this different from the other Saguaro prints in the shop? This is the Cactus Forest view, with the location and coordinates lettered at the foot of the poster. The other Saguaro designs show different views in mid-century, oil painting and watercolour styles.

Is a frame included with the paper print? No. Paper prints ship unframed; the framed options are the framed canvas materials.
