Mr. and Mrs. Rabbit ~ Happy Spring!

8.5x5.5 mixed media using watercolor, Montana acrylic markers, and Micron 01 pen in mixed media sketchbook done at the first of March. So fun to sketch imaginary comical animals wearing clothes. This pair of rabbits are welcoming Spring but not the 100 degrees we had today. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026

Spring Secrets tulips

12x6 watercolor on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper done this afternoon quickly with a large brush on dry paper.  For the loose purple tulips this first day of Spring, I mixed indigo with quinacridone magenta. I only had 20 minutes to paint and this was the result.
