Blue Shutters Red Geraniums

12x9 watercolor on Bristol paper 103 lb done end of February, an imaginary country windowsill floral still life. Featuring red geraniums, this floral captures the welcome home vibe that only these flowers can generate in their clay pot and stone walls. Weathered blue shutters add to its charm.

Redhat Wildflowers

6x6 watercolor done in sketchbook 80 lb paper last month for another online WetCanvas floral challenge.

Pinto Pony

18x12 watercolor on Canson XL 140lb cold press done mid-February, another imaginary horse frontal view equine art. For this I used mixed dark browns and middle value black hues and like the loose look it has. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026
