Cat Painting Tuesday

Something a little different this week. This is a mixed media piece in ink, watercolor, and pastel, instead of the usual oil. Oh, and it’s our new kitten! She’s only four weeks old, so we’ll be adopting her in another month to two months. Cat names I think you really have to get to know [...]
