Rainstorm Across the Bay

3x6 watercolor, another quick imaginary marine scape done a few days ago on Canson 140 lb cold press paper. I've emphasized the dark and moody rain clouds hovering above the water with a promise of rain soon to fall upon the earth. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith

Colorful Palms

9.5x7 watercolor on paper in Ecosystem sketchbook done the last week of July, another Florida scene from WetCanvas/Valri.  I tried to make the tree tops look more color infused than in real life.

Wish You Were Here - beach scene

21.75 x 16.5 watercolor on Italia 140 lb soft press paper done today.  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!

Beached Whales

10x14 watercolor on gessoed acid free matboard done a few months ago; this was from a WetCanvas! weekend drawing event challenge. I realized it had not been posted here.  Courtesy reference with permission of 4 women having a good time at the seashore.  Painted within 2 hours.
