Prickly Pear Canyon

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
