Jay Bird

December Moon

Chester and Midge Cats

10x8 watercolor on Canson 117 lb paper done last week from one of my photos taken at home. Chester is the black and white tuxedo cat with his back to the viewer (may he RIP) and Midge is facing him to sniff his nose. Although adopted on the same day from Big Spring animal shelter they were not related and Midge detested him. White Nights paints were used. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025

8x5.5 mixed media that began with ink sketch on Strathmore Visual Journal for mixed media a few years ago. Next I used Sharpie colored markers and watercolor to finish this Christmas chihuahua. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025
