Quiet Cowboy

8.5x5.5 watercolor using White Nights paints on Canson 117 lb cold press paper done last few days of August while on a trip. For now, this cowboy is the last imaginary portrait I will be doing. This guy looks so quiet and contemplating his next job or duty while working hard outdoors. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026

Tall Cowboy

30x11 watercolor using 5 different brown hues on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper, an imaginary western cowboy figure done in March. I have let the wet paint drip down, mix, move and texturize his hat, coat, and boots. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026

Roundup Cowboy

12x6 watercolor on Grumbacher 140 lb cold press paper done mid-February, an imaginative western cowboy getting ready to ride a roundup. This is loosely based on a photo of my brother. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026
