Gourd Grief Pumpkin

Hummer Colors

2.5x3.5 watercolor miniature hummingbird art done first of this month on 140 lb cold press paper. For this ACEO, I had to paint it twice, as the first one fell out of a sketchbook never to be found. References from photos taken in Alto this late summer at our feeder. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026

Radiant Rooster

5x6 mixed media on paper, another weekend drawing event on WetCanvas done last part of September. For this proud poultry fellow I used multicolored pencils, watercolor (White Nights), ink (Grabie 03 pen), and markers. It is painted on Canson 117 lb cold press paper. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026

Farmland Clouds

9x5.5 watercolor using White Nights paints on Canson 117 lb cold press done last part of September while on a trip to the mountains. In this imaginary landscape the focus is really on the clouds overhead. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026

Caballero and Cactus

Mocking Bird Auto

11x15 watercolor on Fabriano Artistico 140 lb rough and Daniel Smith paints done first of September. I had not painted this deserted old building before. It was in with other landscape photos of various trips through rural Texas and I did not write its location on the back. If anyone recognizes it let me know. Tried an internet search of the business with no luck. This vignette won first place last night at the Watercolor Horizons Group annual show in Odessa, TX. Juror: Tim Oliver of Lubbock.
