Winter's First Day is Coming Soon!

8.75x9 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper, an imaginary scene of old ramshackle barn on the first day of winter solstice. Some snow is evident on the surrounding trees, roofline, and foreground. I used an old black and white barn photo kept for many years so all color is made up. Some Gansai Tambi graphite colors were used in background trees. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

Tree by Snowy Stream

9x6.75 watercolor of a simple imaginary winter snow scene, tree, and frozen water. Even though it is the first day of the Winter Solstice this painting imparts peace and calmness. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

Winter Solstice Treeline

6.25x9.25 Brusho watercolor crystals on Italia Magnani 140 lb cold press paper sketched in pencil then painted today using only one color, Grey. I like how the crystals separate out in their different colors in a very wet wash. This is an imaginary scene for the first day of winter, the winter solstice. COPYRIGHT 2020 Kay Smith
