Brick Building with Lamp

8x4 mixed media using STA Lictin 0.3 pen sketch of an old fashioned metal street lamp on the side of a brick building done last month. I went over the sketch with watercolor and parts of the background show that are acrylic dabs and marks. These type papers are wc 140 lb cold press that go under smaller works then later I use them as abstract backgrounds. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

New Orleans Skinny Building

11x7 watercolor done last week of October, a street scene in New Orleans, on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper and Daniel Smith paints.  There were no figures in the photo so I added a lone guy at the doorway of the skinny building.  Ref courtesy Valri/Wet Canvas.

Pocket Park

9.5x7 watercolor and ink on Ecosystem sketchbook painted yesterday after last Tuesday's plein air event downtown Big Spring.  Sketched in ink using Micron 01 pen, this lamp post and tree scene indicate the crisp autumn air showering the town's sidewalks with fallen leaves and debris.  Late afternoon shadows are streaking diagonally across the very old brick building behind in the background.  Someone had planted cotton seeds in the raised flowerbeds along with squash, I guess for that country touch!
