White Fence Flowers

Calla Lily Shadows

5.5x5.5 watercolor and Brusho on Arteza 110 lb paper done last week, an imaginary calla lily with a dreamy, abstract background. No ref used; I just let paint guide the brush. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

Anaheim Peppers

2.75x8 Mixed media on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done last week or so during my pepper series time. For this I used a piece of backing sheet already marked with alcohol inks, watercolor, acrylics. A Micron 05 pen was also used in this pair of Anaheim peppers, a simple still life with an abstract background. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

Some are Daisies

7x5 watercolor, brush only, on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done a few weeks ago. I was in the mood to paint splashy, carefree daisies. This work is SOLD. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

Saguaro Cactus and Crows

5.5x4 mixed media on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done last week during my cactus series. I used the paper that had already been marked with alcohol inks and acrylics then did India ink on the cactus and crows. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

Red Bell Pepper

3.25 x 4 alcohol inks and watercolor on abstract background of Canson 140 lb cold press paper done last week. With this simple still life of a red bell pepper, only its outline and few lines were made. The paper already had ink and other watermedia marks from using it as a backing sheet behind other works.
