Heatwave

15x22 watermedia on 140 lb cold press paper, of various sunflower faces. It began with loose yellow washes in acrylic and progressed to laying stretched gauze over center area then flooding with various warm hues such as quinacridone violet/magenta, etc. Gauze was lifted when dry. This makes a nice textural effect for watermedia. Background is abstract. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

More Amarillo Sunflowers ~ Happy Spring!

12x9 mixed media using pastel, charcoal, and watersoluble Caran D'Ache wax crayons on pastel paper from some fake sunflowers. I love their free form organic shapes and twisted leaves. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith
