Prickly Pear Canyon

7x5 watercolor and ink on handmade rough paper recently done for a sister-in-law birthday gift. I've used Winsor Newton sepia 0.3 fine liner pen to sketch then black STA brush pen, and black Sharpie in addition to the fluid paint on this imaginary cactus landscape. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026

Overgrown Shack

8.25x9 ink using STA Lictin 0.3 pen on sketchbook paper done mid-January, another WetCanvas challenge. I've tried to show the forlorn and forgotten aspect of this rundown, abandoned structure that probably was someone's home in the past. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026

Donkey in the Desert

12x9 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper done about third week in December. I had painted the donkey then wanted an interesting background so added saguaro cactus and old faded barnwood boards. Daniel Smith paints were used. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025
