Working from a photograph I took of my beloved cat Jerry, I was drawn to his beautiful green eyes and the gentle, thoughtful expression on his face. There was something captivating about the quiet way he looked back at me, as though lost in a moment of contemplation.
Using watercolor, I explored the warm orange and cream tones of his fur, allowing the washes and softly suggested edges to retain a sense of freshness and spontaneity. I wanted to capture the tenderness of his expression without overworking the painting, preserving a simple, intimate moment with a much-loved companion.
