Bluebonnet Blitz

22x15 watercolor on Fabriano 140 lb cold press paper finished today from an earlier painting reference.  The Texas state flower can be seen in all its blue glory each spring along roadways, grasslands or pastures, and the rolling terrain of the hill country.

Bluebonnet Blitz

22x15 watercolor on Fabriano 140 lb cold press paper finished last Monday, sandwiched in between doing a valentine every day, just anxious to paint a floral for a change.  Next month will be traveling to Fredericksburg to do a demo but it will be too early to see these lovely Texas state flowers blooming wildly along roadsides and ranches.  Several years ago I painted a macro view of the lovely lupine and get email from those who have seen that painting asking if I have any more of them.  This one has prints available on my website www.kaysmith.artspan.com in every size, or the original.

Bluebonnets

5x8 watercolor and ink line on paper that is today's work, an imaginary scene.  These close up bluebonnets frame a Texas landscape with other state flowers in the middle ground and trees in the distance.

Texas State Flower Bluebonnet

22x15 watercolor on Saunders 140 lb cold press paper, drawn and painted from life in this macro view of our state flower the bluebonnett.  With little water last year not many were seen covering our hills but am told this year the blues, purples, whites, and pinks are stunning.  This painting is SOLD.
