Purple Desert Sky

6x6 quick watercolor desert landscape done last of August, an imaginary scene using leftover paint. I thought the sky should be purple to frame the various cactus. This is in my Master's Touch sketchbook, 80 lb paper. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026

Quiet Cowboy

8.5x5.5 watercolor using White Nights paints on Canson 117 lb cold press paper done last few days of August while on a trip. For now, this cowboy is the last imaginary portrait I will be doing. This guy looks so quiet and contemplating his next job or duty while working hard outdoors. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026
