A golden tabby tigress lies down among the wild flowers and tall grass, daydreaming. Perhaps she is thinking about one she loves, or just letting her mind go free as she watches the clouds above.

I find the patterning on golden tabby/strawberry tigers particularly beautiful, and it was a real treat to try and paint this rare color morph. I tried some new techniques in blending the watercolor and colored pencil, and experimented with a limited color pallet and purple shading. I think it turned out quite soft, which goes nicely with the image.

She will be available in the FC 2013 Art Show!
