Beachfront Property

21.75 x 16.5 watercolor on Italia 140 lb soft press paper. This is a crop from a horizontal beach seascape with major elements rearranged, such as removing the picket fence that went straight across, parallel to the bottom, a compositional no-no! The scene had brush, grass, and branches throughout so those were edited and omitted. Now the viewer can walk in and go towards the next dune, the water, or the houses distant upper left. All I drew with pencil were the houses and large foliage upper right; all else is done with a brush. Sure wish I was there on this beachfront property. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith

High Tide

4x4.75 watercolor on paper marine scape, another imaginary view of the ocean or sea as I've been doing lately. This one was created last week showing a high tide arriving on the beach. A moody sky presents itself over the water. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

Sky over Beach

9x12 watercolor of the sky with clouds starting to intensify in hopes of a rain shower.  Look closely and you can see tiny figures off the beach in this low horizon painting done recently.

Laguna Beach

5.5x8 watercolor on Strathmore Visual Journal 140 lb cold press paper, a beach scene I painted last week in my hotel room while everyone else was in the bar or gambling.  I don't paint that many landscapes unless the area is interesting and familiar.
