Icy Creek

3.75x5.75 watercolor and white crayon on Fabriano rough 140 lb cold press done last week, another imaginary winter landscape miniature. These are easy to do, just make crayon marks on dry paper then add wet media of choice. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

Northern Saw-whet Owl

10.25x4.75 watercolor of a Northern Saw-whet owl on Fabriano 140 lb cold press rough, another in my owl bird series done last week. I have painted a Saw-whet owl but not a Northern. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

Sleepy Buffalo

October Lotus Pods

6x4 watercolor and ink on 140 lb cold press Canson paper done last fall then donated to our museum Christmas tree project. It's the second time to paint this type lotus pod and I really love all their quirks and holes. When dried they are amazing to add to floral arrangement decor. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

Sparrows and Rosebuds

11x14 mixed media on Artists Loft mixed media paper done last weekend, an imaginary trio of sparrows watching over the rose garden. I used a stencil with acrylics over dry paper then watercolor used elsewhere. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

Ice Bear

4.75x4.75 watercolor on Fabriano 140 lb cold press rough done several days ago from another online challenge. I cropped this polar bear to just focus on its head and the coldness of the surroundings. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

Wary Buffalo

12x9 watercolor on Winsor Newton 140 lb cold press paper done last week, another in my series of bison or buffalo paintings. With this one, I've let paint drip down the paper for an added rough effect of the strong animal. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith
