Cat Scholar

4x4 watercolor on Fabriano 140 rough cold press paper done today. It was time to paint a cat after doing all the winter wildlife art I've been creating lately. A fun ginger or orange marmalade tabby cat always is a pleasure. COPYRIGHT 2020 Kay Smith

Young White Tiger

7.5x4 watercolor on Canson 140 lb. cold press paper completed today from my old zoo photos for this week's prompt on Facebook's All Animals Watercolor page.  This young guy was just bouncing around his caged area ready to pounce or to play.

Lil Lulu cat

9.5x7 watercolor pencils on paper (Ecosystem sketchbook) done on first of May, another artist's cat she rescued.  Lulu had a broken pelvis and someone had doused her fur with gasoline trying to set the poor cat on fire when she was rescued, a feral cat who found her forever home.  I had only 12 wc pencils so colors are not as varied as usual.
