Bluebird of Happiness

5x7 watercolor painted yesterday, a little imaginary bluebird with green and turquoise feathers over part of a backing sheet I use behind other works to protect them.  The way the lines of paint appear it seems he is perched on a small branch or two.  This work is SOLD. Image is COPYRIGHT 2015 Kay Smith.

Bluebird Singing the Blues

3.25x4.5 watercolor on 140 lb Saunders cold press paper, a tiny imaginary scene done today.  The scanner's colors are showing the bluebird having a reddish breast when I painted it orange-yellow or gamboge.  The rest of the branches are true to color.
