Longhorn Skull

22x15 watercolor on Arches 140 lb cold press paper completed last week. This was a remake, redo, recycle of a woman with abstract background in a horizontal format. Flipping the image vertically, I sketched a longhorn skull outline over the existing painting, then added colors and the large bilateral shadows. Lastly, I put in horizontal lines as if the skull were resting on a blanket for added detail design. (Image taken with iPhone) COPYRIGHT Kay Smith

Retired Wagon

11x15 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper, a composite painting using several photos as one. Here the old wagon is parked alongside a barn building, its body resting and rusting. This is one of the featured art pieces in the current Caboose WC show at Heritage museum through October 31st. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith
