Twisted Cactus

16x20 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done in early May. This one was a newly sketched cactus scene over an older magnolia painting. With this redo, I was focusing on various grasses and weeds surrounding the cactus base. I've used graphite watercolors along with Daniel Smith paints. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026
