Description These three paintings were done in succession for a craft show I attended in the Spring.
Each one has a warm grey shimmer to it, very hard to capture with a camera! They have all found homes now.

Funny side note: I struggle with naming artwork, but sometimes the title comes after the work is completed. The leaping cat in particular was hard to pin down. But shortly after painting it, I met a friend's cat for the first time, and her round little cat body and short tail looked exactly like the silhouette I had painted! So, this leaping cat was named after that kitty, Ortega. I still have to tell my friend her feline has been commemorated this way : )

I love the rabbit. Are these watercolours? I haven't tried monochrome with watercolour before.

Hi! Thanks! It is acrylic washes, behaving really similar to watercolor. I love monotone <3

That is actually an awesome idea. I bet it makes a much more stable base for gouache than watercolour does too. Thanks! You've given me something new to try!

These are so pretty. I love the animals you chose for this and how round the little cat is.

They must have been stunning in person.
