Sandy Day in the Saddle

12x9 watercolor on Winsor Newton 140 lb cold press paper done last week during one of our sandstorms. This western theme painting was prompted by reviewing family photos. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

Happy Trails

11x15 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper painted a few years ago for a western show a friend and I did in Oklahoma.  This shows the back end of a white horse and a cowboy in a red shirt, an imaginary scene for the most part.

Dusty Trails

20x16 watercolor on 140 lb cold pressed paper, American Journey paints. Although from age 5 it seems I spent most years growing up in a western saddle, I don't believe I had ever painted one. Horses, yes, but not all the accoutrements that go along on dusty trails. (Photo courtesy Deb/WetCanvas)

Saddle Up!

12x18 watercolor of my brother's profile on a white horse, first painted 5 years ago and now doing more of these macro or cropped view closeups of western art. See Happy Trails image posted 10-17-10. My brother has this painting hanging in his O'Donnell, TX ranch house.

Happy Trails

11x15 watercolor, copyright 2010 Kay Smith, of my brother's backside. I changed the horse's color to white with grey tail instead of sorrel. This painting was done while in my New Mexico mountain studio cabin a few days ago.

Remember the theme song Roy Rogers and Dale Evans had for their TV show about happy trails?

After Vernita Bridges-Hoyt invited me to be part of her new blog about the Chisum or Chisholm Trail I realized I'd gotten away from doing much western art. So get ready! More is coming. To view Nita's new blog go to chisolmtrailart.blogspot.com/
