Range Riders

15x22 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper that I had applied gesso acrylic ground on in March. In this imaginary ranch life scene two cowboys can be seen in their yellow raincoats on horseback doing their work. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025

Cow Skull

15x11 watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper of an old cowskull I photographed on my brother's ranch in O'Donnell, TX. It was propped against a tree and had rocks below and beside it. Daniel Smith paints used: Quinacridone burnt orange, quin gold and magenta, raw sienna, UB, aureolin, and Carbazole violet, all done wet on dry. Yesterday I drew it and today painted it. These icons of western art always sell pretty quickly.
