Kitschy Kactus

14x11 watercolor and ink line on synthetic Yupo paper done last month, a very contemporary take on the usual cactus pods and blooms seen in desert landscapes. I used White Nights paints and a Sharpie ultra fine point marker. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025

Tall Flowering Cactus

8x8 watercolor on Italia 140 lb cold press paper using Daniel Smith and American Journey paints.  This imaginary desert flora scene was painted a few days ago.  The cactus seem to be reaching for the sun.
