Curiosity

This cat is both curious (with wide eyes intently watching something interesting) and a curiosity, as hairless cats are rare and unusual.
Painted with acrylic ink with additions of pencil and gouache. The hot press watercolour paper was then mounted on cradled birch board and protected with a cold wax varnish.
The cradled birch panel is fitted with D-rings and wire for hanging or it may be fitted to a floating frame if desired.
