Cosmos Petals

8x6 watercolor/ink on handmade rough 140 lb cold press paper done first week of the month. I used White Nights paints and Winsor Newton 0.1 black fine liner pen in this loose floral. For a series on cosmos flowers I'm sketching them from a faux bouquet in a vase. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026

Cosmos by the Sea

5.5x4.5 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper, an imaginary scene of varied cosmos colors growing by the sea, that I painted this past Sunday. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

Cosmos Clouds

15x22 watercolor on Saunders 300 lb cold press paper finished yesterday, one drawn from silk cosmos that I've used for floral still life before.  On the reverse side is a white duck swimming that I will post soon so whoever purchases the cosmos gets a freebie or vice versa.

Cosmopolitan Cosmos

15x22 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper, one of my early florals of a spray of mixed cosmos blooms.  I used a silk arrangement in a glass vase sold by a mail order company named Petals, who went out of business, but not before I was able to buy lots of their designs. I use the lifelike flowers to sketch from or paint.  This work is SOLD.
