A Friend's Cat

11x15 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper painted this past weekend over Christmas Eve.  This part ginger part white female cat belonged to a friend and I forget the cat's name but I've painted her before in different poses.  Here she was resting in a flowerbed of leaves in the fall; the dark greens contrasted well with her orange rust colored fur.  I painted this much more loosely than usual.
