Abandoned New Mexico Structure

11x15 watercolor and ink (Micron 01 pen) on Strathmore 140 lb cold press block done last week. It took quite a long time to do the stippling marks in ink before applying paint, but this old building with its sun dried clay bricks mixed with grass (for strength) deserved some attention. As was the habit with these structures, they were mud-mortared then covered with mud and have stood the test of time. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

Woven Flowers of Passion

15x22 work is actually two identically painted scenes of pink roses in front of a house. The original was ho-hum boring so a few years late...
