Checkerboard Pear

9x6 mixed media on 140 lb cold press Canson paper recently painted as a warm up exercise. I used Brusho wc crystals for the pear, Montana acrylic markers on the background, watercolor for checkered table and India ink for accent lines. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

Barnyard Queen

15x22 mixed watermedia:  acrylic, black India ink, and collage over failed red rose watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper.  This work was a demo for the Amarillo Art Institute.  As a vertical red rose painting it just did not work so redoing it was the only option.  Collage elements are torn white doily fragments in several pieces.  You can see a remnant of the rose top center and a rosebud still visible on lower right side margin.  I like the eggs floating about including one still in the hen.
