Looking for Lizards
unfinished watercolor study
It has been a long time, but I have painted Mr. Chomp before.
He belongs to dear friends and is a rescued cat
...saved from a nasty traffic accident

...saved from a nasty traffic accident
after being discarded in the road when he was
about 2-3 weeks old. My friend stopped her car
and dodged the moving traffic to grab him safely up.

(There has to be a severe consequence somewhere
along the line for people who casually discard animals)
Much loved and taken outside on a leash for an hour
each day, Mr. Chomp rewards everyone by being affectionate
and entertaining.
Artist Note
Using a Moleskin book, I didn't draw first,
but went right into using washes of color.
Mr. Chomp was not staying in one position for long

The paper is smooth and buckles slightly with watercolor.
it adds nicely to a bit of puddling.

Mr. Chomp kept moving around in different positions, but finally...slept!!!
