Back in Arizona

22x15 watercolor with Daniel Smith paints on Arches 140 lb cold press paper painted recently wet in wet. This is the side of a hotel front we stayed at often in the Phoenix area on work trips. I loved the huge yucca and its shadows and the contrast of the hotel's white stucco against a painterly sky. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

Old Goat Cart

22x15 watercolor painted wet in wet on Saunders 300 lb cold press paper from an old New Mexico scene in a southwest style patio.  The cart was loaded with potted plants and vividly colored annuals such as geraniums.  I particularly like the long diagonal shadows of the vigas.
