Rough Cactus Patch

8x6 watercolor on rough handmade paper done week before last using graphite paints by Gansai Tambi (Kuretake) and Rosa Gallery paints. In this imaginary southwestern desert landscape focusing on cactus plants, I've used the graphites for the rough texture and Rosa paints for their brilliant colors of the prickly pears.

15x20 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper, an imaginary scene showing a southwestern trading post and cowskulls I painted years ago. I included red pepper ristras and an old wagon wheel. This work is SOLD. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith
