Mexico Cactus Pot

Hidden Owl

Pristine White Hibiscus

8x8" watercolor on Master's Touch watercolor 140 lb cold press paper using White Nights paints done first of the month. Ref courtesy Dewi/WetCanvas florals/botanical forum for this month's challenge.

Rugged Terrain

7x9 watercolor using White Nights paints in Master's Touch sketchbook, 80 lb paper, done last Tuesday. An imaginary rugged scene was fun to do a composition. Since I was already in the mountains, several views lent themselves to any number of arrangements. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025

15x22 watercolor on Saunders 140 lb cold press from my photo of faux tulip blooms in a vase in my living room; this painting is featured in an online demonstration on this blog dated February 23, 2011. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2011
