Working from a photograph I took, I wanted to capture the calm, attentive presence of this orange-and-white cat. The direct gaze and softly turned pose gave the portrait a gentle sense of connection, while the light background allowed the face and bright green eyes to remain the clear focus.
Using watercolor, I kept the washes delicate and luminous, letting soft passages of color suggest form without overworking the image. The result is a portrait that feels peaceful and intimate, preserving a quiet moment with a much-loved feline companion.
