Kitchen Window Still Life

9x12 watercolor on Bristol 300 series 100 lb paper sketched and painted today for a timed online event. Participants have 2 hours to do their choice of references. I love the old silver teapot or coffee pot with the bright fruit and blue glass ware. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

Woven Country Icons

22x15 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper, two actual works cut into horizontal strips then verticals and woven together as one piece.
I had painted the first version that had fresh zinnias, grapes and lemons in the blue/white spongeware and didn't like it.  Then I painted it again as a demo for a workshop but still didn't like it.  Finally cutting it up was the only answer and I do like its appearance now woven together sitting on a kitchen table in front of a window.
