Frosted Flakes

10.5x7 watermedia on Lanaquarelle 140 lb hot press paper. First I marked tree cone shaped lines with white and grey crayons, then filled in with various watercolors: Raw umber, Coastal Fog, Mint Julep, Midnight Blue, UB, Manganese Blue and Daniel Smith's Undersea Green. While still wet, I dropped more colors in, then splattered white gouache on all of it. It's just a fun one of three trees in snow with their frosted flakes. Merry Christmas! COPYRIGHT Kay Smith

Winter Tree Grove

5x5.5 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper done during our last December's frosty, icy spell of an imaginary grove of trees.  Fog and frost create a dimmed and hazy focus on the outer trees.
