Le Chat Bleu Card

This card started out as a play on George Rodrigue's Blue Dog, and ended up having a desert evening kind of vibe.  This how most of my projects end up.

Highlight cat's chest fur on cat front and tips of ears on cat head with Adirondack Color Wash in Wild Plum.  Highlight chin, cheeks, and bridge of cat's nose on cat head with white pigment pen.
