Three Poplar Trees

7.75x4.25 acrylics on wc 140 lb paper done this past weekend using some of my tree ref photos from New Mexico. No pencil sketch was done first, just brush only using leftover acrylics. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

Bucolic Landscape

6.25x14.75 acrylics on matboard done recently as a WetCanvas challenge.  For July, participants had to do the following:

1.  Work only in acrylic
2.  Use non-dominant hand
3.  Must be a bucolic landscape

Since I don't use that media much and detest landscapes, it sounded like a fun project to have ready by the 21st.  I'm ambidextrous so no problem there.  My photos were not too exciting, so this southwest scene is entirely imaginary and I used Derivan Matisse matte paint, Liquitex, and Basics brands of paint along with a 1" bristle flat brush done left-handed.
