A tender miniature watercolor depicting a calico kitten taking a curious step forward. Soft washes and subtle color transitions give this piece a gentle, almost storybook quality, while the kitten’s alert gaze conveys innocence and quiet bravery. The restrained palette and airy negative space allow the subject to shine, making this a timeless and heartfelt animal portrait. Signed by the artist and housed in a rich, dark wood frame that adds warmth and contrast.
