Watercolor and gouache painting of a little gray striped kitten holding a three-dimensional paper sculpture of a pink ball of yarn. This miniature painting is only 2” x 2” and is framed in a black shadowbox frame. Perfect for a cat lover.
Details:
Medium: Hand-painted watercolor and opaque gouache on heavy cold-press watercolor paper, with hand-sculpted paper elements.
Sculpture: Three-dimensional paper ball of yarn, delicately sculpted and layered to create depth and a tactile, lifelike effect; adhered to the painting to appear as if the kitten cradles it.
Size: 2" x 2" miniature painting framed in a 6” x 6” x 1.25” shadowbox frame’
Frame: Sleek black shadowbox frame, recessed to showcase the paper sculpture's relief and protect the delicate paper layers.
Palette: Soft grays for the kitten’s striped fur, warm pink for the yarn, subtle white gouache highlights, and dark green background wash to keep focus on the subject.
Style: Gentle, illustrative realism with whimsical, sculptural elements—small-scale charm, expressive kitten features, and tactile paper detail.
Ideal for: Cat lovers, miniature art collectors, nursery or small-space wall displays, and as a thoughtful, handmade gift.
Care:
Keep out of direct sunlight to preserve watercolor and gouache pigments and the paper sculpture.
Dust gently with a soft brush; avoid moisture and high humidity.
Shipping and framing:
Arrives framed and ready to hang; backing secured and ready for display.
Professionally packaged to protect the shadowbox and paper elements during transit.
If you’d like alternate colorways (different yarn color or kitten markings), custom matting, or a signed certificate of authenticity, I can provide options and pricing.
