Broomsticks and Lipsticks

5.5x8 ink sketch with watercolor added done for a past #InkTober, three fun witches and their fancy brooms. I loved the black lipstick the figurine dolls wore along with elegant brocade costumes. "Be still, my pretty!" Watch out for them flying about with their monkeys, especially with a full moon. Hoping everyone had a fun Halloween! COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025

Harvest Crows

15x11 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper painted previously while on a mountains trip. Plentiful crows with their loud caw sounds are common, and they are vert smart birds. Love to see them around Halloween, too. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025
