Saguaro Goldfinch and Flowers

14x11 mixed media and collage on Crescent matboard done last part of May. Using felt tip, ink, and acrylic markers, I colored in the flowers and saguaro. Various papers were cut and glued to the image. Lastly I cut out a watercolor goldfinch bird from my sketchbook and adhered it to the top floral area. Dilute white acrylic was lightly washed over the too pink background to tone it down. All in all, a fun creative piece that would fit into anyone's decor. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026
