Lonely Sparrow

8.5x5.5 watercolors on 80 lb sketchbook paper done over a week or so ago, a single sparrow by itself, lonely for some friends. I've used the same recent limited palette of Payne's Gray, Perylene maroon, and quinacridone gold. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025

Snowy Sparrow

8.5x5.5 watercolor using Rosa Gallery paints made in Ukraine, on 80 lb sketchbook paper in Master's Touch. This imaginary bird scene was fun to do, especially the snow and fake winter. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2024
