Winter Birch and Cardinal

12x9 watercolor on Bristol paper using White Nights paints, done the past weekend. In this imaginary snowy landscape, it is easy to see the remnants of autumn under the white powder. A lone male cardinal sits high in the birch branches watching his environment. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025

Snowfall in January

4.5x9 watercolor, Brusho, and gouache on 140 lb cold press paper while thinking about snow. It is based on my reference photo of a snow laden evergreen tree. Winter is just getting started. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith

Antlers

18x24 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done over this weekend of an imaginary buck deer amidst swirling leaves. His eyes are closed indicating sleep during winter approaching with its wind and snow flurries. Note the antlers morphing into tree branch shapes and lines. I mixed dark brown, grey, and black Brusho for some of the darks painting wet on dry. COPYRIGHT 2020 Kay Smith

Smiley Face Snowman - a card a day

Meltdown Magic

22x15 watercolor of a melting but happy snowman I painted from imagination a few years ago during my snowman series. Hope you like his animal magic, too!

Meltdown - a Christmas card a day
